i am getting this error

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

 C:\PROGRA~2\MATLAB\R2008A\BIN\MEX.PL:  
  Error: Using options file: 
         C:\Documents and Settings\302014448\Application Data\MathWorks\MATLAB\R2008a\compopts.bat 
         You cannot use this file with the WIN32 architecture because it enables 
         a compiler for a different architecture. 
         Running mbuild -setup may resolve this problem.

Error: An error occurred while shelling out to mbuild (error code = 255). Unable to build executable. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Hi,

do what the error tells you. Run

mbuild -setup

and select a Compiler. It seems like you have installed 8a as 64bit and 32bit. These two version share the preference directory which leads to the 64bit version picks up compiler setttings from the 32bit version.

In addtion the VC Express isnt supported for 8a in 64bit. You need a supported 64bit Compiler:

The best would be to upgrade to 10b or higher because there you dont need any compiler for generating an exe with the ML Compiler (for C/C++ DLLs you need one).
