MATLAB R2015b Microsoft Visual Studio C++ 2015, Configuration Problem

Hi,

First of all, thanks in advance for your help.

I´m having trouble using Microsoft Visual Studio C++ 2015, Enterprise Edition, with Matlab R2015b. I checked on the Mathworks documentation, this version is supported. I would like to use inside Visual Studio the C++ code generated from a huge Simulink model.

Some points:

1. I checked, I installed all the C++ Visual Studio components with a "custom" installation of Visual Studio.
2. Following is the output of:

      mex -setup -v

      Found installed compiler 'Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 Professional (C)'.
      MEX configured to use 'Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 Professional (C)' for C language compilation.
      Warning: The MATLAB C and Fortran API has changed to support MATLAB
         variables with more than 2^32-1 elements. In the near future
         you will be required to update your code to utilize the
         new API. You can find more information about this at:
         http://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/matlab_external/upgrading-mex-files-to-use-64-bit-api.html.

      To choose a different C compiler, select one from the following:
      MinGW64 Compiler (C)  mex -setup:'C:\Program Files\MATLAB_v86_r15b_x64\bin\win64\mexopts\mingw64.xml' C
      Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 Professional (C)  mex -setup:C:\Users\qxp3917\AppData\Roaming\MathWorks\MATLAB\R2015b\mex_C_win64.xml C

So, it seems that:

1. Visual Studio 2015 Enterprise has been properly found and set as desired C/C++ compilator.
2. The xml file required is a in bit weird location:

Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 Professional (C)  mex -setup:C:\Users\qxp3917\AppData\Roaming\MathWorks\MATLAB\R2015b\mex_C_win64.xml C

Actually, I believed this other file was supposed to be looked for:

C:\Program Files\MATLAB_v86_r15b_x64\bin\win64\mexopts\msvcpp2015.xml

I don´t know how to force Matlab using this file.

Finally, when I try to get a Visual Studio solution from the Simulink example:

    open_system('rtwdemo_counter_msvc'); 
    make_rtw DEBUG_BUILD=1

as shown here https://de.mathworks.com/examples/simulink-coder/mw/simulinkcoder-ex12452925-compile-and-debug-generated-c-code-with-microsoft-reg-visual-studio-reg

Matlab returns the following error

Error using RTW/MSVCBuild>initialSetup
No supported Visual C/C++ compiler found. Check your installation of Visual C/C++.

Error in RTW/MSVCBuild

Error in coder.internal.runCompile

Error in coder.internal.ModelBuilder/make_rtw (line 919)
                            compileResult = coder.internal.runCompile...

    buildResult = obj.make_rtw(varargin);

Error in make_rtw (line 18)
buildResult = h.make_rtw(varargin{:});

That´s all. Thanks again for your help and your suggestions.
