I use a Matlab 2013a running in a windows 10 64 bits and everytime i try to use mex this following message appears:
>> mex setup
C:\PROGRA~1\MATLAB\R2013A\BIN\MEX.PL: Error: '–setup' not found.
Error using mex (line 206)
Unable to complete successfully.
I`ve seen a lot of people with the same problem and i have already tried all solutions: i have installed Visual Studio C 2012, 2014, 2010 , windows SDK for windows 10 and .NET Framework 4.6 SDK
But nothing seems to work. Can someone help me please?

SDK is not enough. you have to install visual studio (at least community version)
while installing you have to select "C++ desktop app development" optioncompiler for matlab.PNG

You are typing in the wrong command. You are typing in
mex –setup
but you need
mex -setup
You probably cannot see the difference but it is there. The clue is to look at the error message:
C:\PROGRA~1\MATLAB\R2013A\BIN\MEX.PL: Error: '–setup' not found.
Notice how long the line is before "setup". You are using a m-dash instead of a regular dash.
