I had a working combination of Visual C++ 2010 Express and Microsoft Windows SDK 7.1. After installing Service Pack 1 for Visual Studio, I now get the following MEX error:

Error: Could not find the compiler "cl" on the DOS path. 
       Use mex -setup to configure your environment properly. 
     C:\Program Files\MATLAB\R2010B\BIN\MEX.PL: Error: Unable to locate compiler.

How can I get back to a working configuration?

This problem impacts MATLAB users with the following combination of software on 64-bit Windows (win64):

Visual C++ 2010 Express
Microsoft Windows SDK 7.1
Visual Studio 2010 SP1

There is a bug in the installer for Visual Studio 2010 SP1. The installer will delete the 64-bit compiler previously installed by the SDK, or prevent the compiler from being later installed by the SDK.

This will prevent MEX and other products and features dependent on a compiler from functioning. "mex –setup" will continue to locate the Visual C++ compiler, but a "mex" call will later fail with a message like the following:

Error: Could not find the compiler "cl" on the DOS path. 
       Use mex -setup to configure your environment properly. 
     C:\Program Files\MATLAB\R2010B\BIN\MEX.PL: Error: Unable to locate compiler.

Microsoft has issued an update to address this issue. It is available for download at:

<http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyID=689655B4-C55D-4F9B-9665-2C547E637B70&displaylang=en>

After downloading and installing the update, MEX and other capabilities should work as anticipated.

Yes, MSVC100 is still compatible with MATLAB 2011a/b x86 (for x64 you must have Windows SDK 7.1). See Supported and Compatible Compilers – Release 2011a.
Did you try clearing the "C++ compilers" check-box during install of Windows SDK 7.1? Then install the update.

From KB2519277:

If you try to install Windows SDK v7.1 after you upgrade to Visual Studio 2010 SP1, the Visual C++ compiler features might be blocked during the setup process. To resolve this issue, run the Windows SDK 7.1 Setup again, clear the Visual C++ Compilers check box, and then complete the setup. After Windows SDK v7.1 is installed, install the update that is described in the "Update information" section.

@Mark: Does this "yes" concern my question? I asked for MSVC 2010 Express SP1, but the list of compatible compilers for R2011a/b mentions MSVC 2010 Express & Professional without service pack only. Even the technical support of TMW could not clear this question yet.

The thread is one year old. My problems are solved already.
