Is Visual Studio 2017 supported without patches by matlab 2018a?

Answer 1

Matlab R2018a has not been published yet. If users download and test the pre-release version, they accept the NDA and are not allowed to discuss features in public.

Therefore you have to ask either MathWorks directly (see the "Contact us" link on this page) or wait some weeks. Then the online documentation will contain the system requirements of the new version.

How about end of july 2018 status?

I am using student version, at matlab prompt

>> mex -setup c++
MEX configured to use 'Microsoft Visual C++ 2017' for C++ language compilation.

I try to compile MatConvNet

>> run matlab/vl_compilenn

Warning: CL.EXE not found in PATH. Trying to guess out of mex setup. 
> In vl_compilenn>check_clpath (line 650)
  In vl_compilenn (line 426)
  In run (line 91) 
'cl.exe' is not recognized as an internal or external command, 
operable program or batch file. 
Error using vl_compilenn>check_clpath (line 656)
Unable to find cl.exe

How to solve the problem? Thanks.

Jan's answer, that release R2018a has not yet been released, is correct.

But as a data point about general Microsoft Visual Studio 2017 support, the supported compilers list for the current release (as of when I write this answer, release R2017b) lists "Microsoft Visual C++ 2017 Family" as supported for use with the MATLAB product family (except for HDL Verifier), the Simulink product family, and most of the columns in the MATLAB Compiler table.

Thanks for the feedback. I've been using MVS 2010 and now have issues with a mex I've distributed, when run on Win10 (compiled with Win7). While it appears 2010 SP1 may resolve the issue, I'd rather get more current.
