MATLAB: Error Packaging Excel Function

excelMATLAB Builder EXMATLAB Compiler

I am trying to follow the example of packaging a simple function to use within an excel spreadsheet.
function y = mymagic(x)
  y = magic(x);
I go into the "MATLAB Compiler" select my file and click Package. I get the error seen below.
The log file is attached. I believe the error has something to do with line 198:
 Creating library C:\Users\Magnet Mapper\Documents\MATLAB\mymagic\for_testing\mymagic_1_0.lib and object C:\Users\Magnet Mapper\Documents\MATLAB\mymagic\for_testing\mymagic_1_0.exp
    LINK : fatal error LNK1123: failure during conversion to COFF: file invalid or corrupt
Can anyone help me resolve this?
Thank you!

There is a Microsoft issue where the installation of Visual Studio 2012 causes problems with the Visual Studio 2010 installation, which results in the same error above. More details are at:

To fix it, either upgrade Visual Studio 2010 to SP1, or disable incremental linking in Visual Studio.
This issue also occurs when without Visual studio installations when you upgrade to .NET framework 4.5 and use Microsoft Windows SDK 7.1 as compiler. The workaround is to downgrade to .NET framework 4.0.
