Hi,

the error message tells you the problem: the setup of the Microsoft SDK was either not done or not successful.

Do the instructions help?

[khoirul hadi]

still stuck at installing SDK, tried everything from the link T.T

What is the reason to define the location of the compilers manually by:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v8.0A\Bootstrapper\Packages

? This step should not be required. Without knowing any details it is impossible to guess, what's going on. I had hard times installing MS compilers correctly and activating it for Matlab many times. But uninstalling, cleaning the registry, and reinstalling following the instructions helped me everytime.
