MATLAB: Unable to setup mex for Intel Fortran Compiler

fortranintel parallel studio xe 2019MATLAB

I have been trying to set up the Intel Fortran Compiler to work on MATLAB R2019a for Windows. I have been able to confirm that the Compiler is working well on the Visual Studio 2019. However, running mex -setup on the MATLAB Command Window, the program cannot find the compiler. I have attached the error message below.
```

Notes for the Windows family
3. Intel compilers require that Microsoft Visual Studio 2015 or 2017 also be installed on your system.
That is a problem for you because you have VS 2019 installed.
