Since you have not indicated your MATLAB version, I shall assume its the
latest.
Look under the 'MATLAB Builder EX' column:
http://www.mathworks.com/support/compilers/current_release/
Supports VC++ 2005 express edition which is free (google for the download
link).

For older releases, look on the left hand side for 'Supported Compilers'
under 'previous releases'.

I installed the visual studio express, Now i get error
ompiler: Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Express Edition
Location: E:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8
 
Are these correct [y]/n? y

It might help you to search the below for error messages/issues you face
while using MATLAB. It is a rich resource with lots of information,
solutions and workaround for common issues.

I searched 'mssdk' for you and the first link is:
"Why do I receive an error message when I try to choose Microsoft Visual
C++ 2005 Express Edition compiler using MEX -SETUP?"

Do you think the error message is not sufficiently helpful?
