Mex error cl : Command line error D8027 cannot execute c1.dll

Good eveining, I am trying to execute the mathworks example for mex command running mex yprime.c but I keep on getting the error

Error using mex yprime.c cl : Command line error D8027 : cannot execute 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\VC\Bin\amd64\c1.dll'

Do you have any ideas which is the problem? Thank you.

It is not "c1", but "cl" (lowercase L). Please post the message as text. The screenshot seems to be cut off on the right side.

Did you install the compiler properly? Did the compilation work before?

Thank you for your answer. It seems that the dll file it cannot execute is the c1.dll. I followed the instructions described in this link https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/101105-how-do-i-install-microsoft-windows-sdk-7-1 for the SDK 7.1 installation but faced problems like framework 4.6 is already included in the OS of windows 10 with a result to get the framework error

even if I used event special software to clean all the existed frameworks. During the SDK installation although I get the process conclude successfully I get the attached warning

I also used the separate visual compilers for windows SDK 7.1 with no result. Here is the result of my mex -setup command

It is the first time I am trying to do the compilation. Thank you for your help.
