MatConvNet with Visual Studio 2015.3 Toolset and MATLAB R2017a
Introduction
After a recent re-install of Windows on my laptop, I decided to install the latest version of the software packages that I frequently use. This include MATLAB R2017a ,Visual Studio 2017 Enterprise and MatConvNet.
However, it turns out that MATLAB R2017a does not support using VS2017 out of the box (patch required). What’s worse is that CUDA Toolkit 8.0 also doesn’t support VS2017 yet.
In order to use MatConvNet for my research, I had to install VS2015.3 Toolset (optional component of VS2017) and configure MATLAB R2017a to use it.
