How do I get Matlab to work with windows SDK 8

I currently have access to a computer which have matlab 2013a and Windows SDK 8 installed. But I want to compile C++ file with matlab. Is there a way to get matlab 2013 to work with SDK 8 (I know it will do with SDK 7.1, but I do not have the permition to install it.) Thanks for any help.

The Windows 8 SDK does not include a compiler, which is why MATLAB continues to support version 7.1 of the SDK.

From http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/desktop/hh852363.aspx: "The Windows SDK no longer ships with a complete command-line build environment. You must install a compiler and build environment separately."
