Problem with mex compilation

Somebody please help me in this regard.When I try to set up my mex compiler,I get the following error. Please help

mex -setup

Please choose your compiler for building external interface (MEX) files:

Would you like mex to locate installed compilers [y]/n? y

Select a compiler: [1] Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Express in F:\visual c++

[0] None

Compiler: 1

Please verify your choices:

Compiler: Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Express Location: F:\visual c++

Are these correct [y]/n? y

As the output of your mex -setup mentions : In order to build 64-bit binaries, the "x64 Compilers and Tools" and Microsoft Windows Software Development Kit (SDK) must both be installed.

Please read this technical solution :

How can I set up Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 Express Edition for use with MATLAB 7.7 (R2008b) on 64-bit Windows?

From the output of your mex -setup , I can see that you are using R2010a. The above technical note says : Note that in some cases, the configuration steps described below are known to work with MATLAB 7.8 (R2009a), MATLAB 7.9 (R2009b) and MATLAB 7.10 (R2010a) as well.
