MATLAB: Mex files and compiler

MATLAB Compilermex compiler

Hello everyone,
I have trouble to execute mex files and to set up my compiler…
My MatLab version is R2011b, so according to this page http://www.mathworks.se/support/compilers/R2011b/win32.html, it should support the following compilers (that I have): Microsoft Windows SDK 7.1 (with .NET Framework 4.0) and Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Express.
When I use the command mex -setup, I can select the visual c++ compiler for example, and it seems to work just fine (see a copy of it at the end of this post). But after that, when I want to use it, here what I get :
——-
>> mex hello.cpp Error: Could not find the compiler "cl" on the DOS path.
Use mex -setup to configure your environment properly.
C:\PROGRA~1\MATLAB\R2011B\BIN\MEX.PL: Error: Unable to locate compiler.
Error using mex (line 206)
Unable to complete successfully.

I read a lot on the internet but unsuccessfully, I did not find any solution for my current problem… Do you think it is about the note 3 at the end of the page of the previous link ? Or because I run a 64 bits machine ?
For information, here is what I have by using the mex -setup command :
——-
>> mex -setup
Welcome to mex -setup. This utility will help you set up a default compiler. For a list of supported compilers, see http://www.mathworks.com/support/compilers/R2011b/win64.html
Please choose your compiler for building MEX-files:
Would you like mex to locate installed compilers [y]/n? n

Your machine has a Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Express compiler located at C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0. Do you want to use this compiler [y]/n? y
Please verify your choices:
Compiler: Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Express Location: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0
Are these correct [y]/n? y

Warning: MEX-files generated using Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 require
that Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 run-time libraries be
available on the computer they are run on.
If you plan to redistribute your MEX-files to other MATLAB
users, be sure that they have the run-time libraries.

Warning: The MATLAB C and Fortran API has changed to support MATLAB
variables with more than 2^32-1 elements. In the near future
you will be required to update your code to utilize the new
API. You can find more information about this at:

Building with the -largeArrayDims option enables the new API.

If someone could enlight me a little bit, that would be great !
Thank you
