I cannot link mex to a compiler and so cannot run it in 2014B

I just installed (for the third time) 2014b and when I run mex -status to try an figure out how to connect my mex operations to MS Visual Studio 2014, I get the following error:

No supported compiler or SDK was found. For options, visit http://www.mathworks.com/support/compilers/R2014b/win64.html.

Earlier versions I would get a list of available compiler links. How can I fix this problem, because as it stands I cannot use the new version of MatLab.

John - do you mean setup instead of status in your call to mex? You will need to ensure that you have a supported and compatible compiler for whichever language (C/C++ or Fortran) you wish to write the MEX functions for.

If you visit the link that you posted in your question, you will see that MS Visual Studio 2014 is not one of the supported compilers, so you will have install one that appears in the list. It may be easiest just to try the MS Windows SDK 7.1.
