The mex compiler '<unknown>' is not supported for simulation builds. Use 'mex -setup' to select a supported compiler."

I am running R2009a with Windows 7(64 bit). I have installed MS visual c++ 2010 express and microsoft SDK for window7 (7.1). When I ran "mex -setup" it dosen't find any compiler. error while running my simulink file "The mex compiler '<unknown>' is not supported for simulation builds. Use 'mex -setup' to select a supported compiler."

when i try to see mex setup after installation of MS visual c++ 2010 express and microsoft SDK for window7 (7.1), i see following: >> mex -setup Please choose your compiler for building external interface (MEX) files:

Would you like mex to locate installed compilers [y]/n? y

Select a compiler:

[0] None

Compiler: 3 Please select from 0-0 Compiler: 0

mex: No compiler selected. No action taken.

Can anyone help?

Maltab R2009 doesn't know about VC++ 2010 - use older compiler, or ML R2010 or R2011
