What components of Microsoft Visual C++ need to be installed in order to use the MATLAB Compiler along with the MATLAB Builder products?
We are about to install Microsoft Visual C/C++ Professional Edition. The full install is 500MB and we are looking to cut down the install size. We need to determine which components of Microsoft Visual C/C++ are required to be installed to successfully use the MATLAB compiler, MATLAB Excel Builder, and MATLAB COM Builder.

Best Answer

The MATLAB Compiler enables the generation of Win32 binaries: .exe and .dll. When used in conjunction with the MATLAB Excel Builder and MATLAB COM Builder, you are able to generate COM components.
Therefore, your installation of Microsoft Visual C/C++ must be able to build these targets. For specific information on how to perform the installation, refer to Microsoft Visual C/C++ documentation.
