1. Go to dreamsparks and download visual studio 2010. This is important as it gives proper support for the creation of MEX support provided by this guy:

He says :

Automatically sets up debugging and running of MEX files from Visual Studio.
There is now a visual studio extension (simple click plugin type of install):

2. Sln files are visual studio project files.
3. make sure the mex.h doesnt have a "squiggly" red line under it! Goto tools / options and matlab tab to setup the path for matlab.exe.
