MATLAB: MEX Verification in MATLAB (R2008a)

mex

Hello all,
I am trying to test MEX configuration in MATLAB (R2008a); however, it doesn't work. Now, I don't know how to fix this. Thank you for your help.
>> mbuild -setup
Please choose your compiler for building standalone MATLAB applications: 
Would you like mbuild to locate installed compilers [y]/n? n
Select a compiler: 
[1] Microsoft Platform SDK 14.0 
[2] Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 
[3] Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 
[0] None 
Compiler: 3
The default location for Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 compilers is C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0, 
but that directory does not exist on this machine.  
Use C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0 anyway [y]/n? y
Please verify your choices: 
Compiler: Microsoft Visual C++ 2008  
Location: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0 
Are these correct [y]/n? y

         Use mex -setup to configure your environment properly.

You need to run "mex -setup" ("mbuild -setup" is for configuring the compiler to be used with MATLAB Compiler).
