MATLAB: VisualStudio 2019 compiler not detected on installation

Question

On installation of Matlab R2020a I got a message, that the Matlab- and the Simulink Coder needs a supported compiler.

I have a VisualStudio 2019 installed on my machine, so I assume that the installer doesn't detect it by some reasons. Is there any way to configure Matlab afterwards to use the VisualStudio Compiler?

Answer 1

The installation process makes no effort to find a support compiler: it just tells the user that one will be needed.

To configure the compiler,

mex -setup
mex -setup C++
