Unable to build mex file

I've followed the Matlab example for creating a mex file from here https://uk.mathworks.com/help/matlab/matlab_external/standalone-example.html

When I run the command mex arrayProduct.cpp (the name of my file), I get the following error

Building with 'Microsoft Visual C++ 2017'.
Error using mex LINK : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol mexfilerequiredapiversion arrayProduct.lib : fatal error LNK1120: 1 unresolved externals

I'm using Matlab 2015b 32-bit, with the 2017 C++ compiler. Is there some preliminary set-up required for making mex files that isn't mentioned in the matlab tutorial?

Please refer the supported compilers for MATLAB R2015b :
