Can't compile using mexcuda

[hpay]

Hi!

I'm excited to start using Kilosort but I can't get the mex files compiled during installation. I'm using Windows 10, Matlab 2018a, CUDA 9.0.176, and Visual Studio Community 2013 with Update 5 (and I've used mex -setup c++ to set the compiler to Microsoft Visual C++ 2013). The GPU is NVIDIA quadro M4000. I get the following error when I try to run mexGPUall.m (more detailed output below):

Error using mex
nvcc fatal   : Could not set up the environment for Microsoft Visual Studio using
'C:/Program Files (x86)/Microsoft Visual Studio
12.0/VC/Bin/amd64/../../../VC/bin/amd64/vcvars64.bat'

Error in mexcuda (line 157)
    [varargout{1:nargout}] = mex(mexArguments{:});
Error in mexGPUall (line 5)
    mexcuda -largeArrayDims mexThSpkPC.cu 

The file vcvars64.bat does in fact exist where specified. I've additionally tried: using the compilers from VS2015 and VS2017; uninstalling all VS versions and uninstalling CUDA, then starting over with VS2013 followed by CUDA 9.0; and most recently following the instructions here to do a clean install of CUDA. No error messages during any installation steps. Any idea what is going on?

Verbose output from the mexcuda command:

>> mexcuda -v -largeArrayDims mexThSpkPC.cu
Trying MEX options 'C:\Program Files\MATLAB\R2018a\toolbox\distcomp\gpu\extern\src\mex\win64\nvcc_msvcpp2013.xml'...SUCCESS

Verbose mode is on.

Finally got it working. Not sure what the problem was, but I ended up making a new local user account, and CUDA 9.0 + Visual studio 2013 (which I had already installed across the system) just worked. So I compiled the mex files there, and can now use them from my original account.
