MATLAB: Loadlibrary error

loadlibrary

Hi,
I have downloaded a set of functions for computing exact geodesic on a surface mesh from here : http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/18168-exact-geodesic-for-triangular-meshes
I was trying to go through the examples provided by the author, but as one of the functions makes a call to 'loadlibrary' I get the following error:
??? Error using ==> loadlibrary at 279
Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 or 2008 is required to use this feature.
I installed Microsoft Visual C++ on my machine, but this error still persists. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

For versions older than R2011a, Visual Studio Express (free) editions were not supported with LOADLIBRARY - the support was added in R2011a. However, it looks like this user has been able to use some clever tweaks to make even older versions work with the Express versions: http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/newsreader/view_thread/281365
