I need to convert some MATLAB code to C++. I am using Visual Studio 2010 and have MATLAB compiler installed. I am wondering how do I go about doing this.

Also when I publish my project will the end user have to install anything by MATLAB? (this cannot be the case)

You can compile Matlab scripts into standalone executables, but I'm not familiar with a Matlab tool to convert Matlab code to Visual C++ code. You can convert Matlab code to C or C++ using Simulink Coder (formerly Real-Time Workshop), which is available from Mathworks as a separate product.

To run the standalone executable, the user will have to install the Matlab Compiler Runtime. From the Matlab Compiler web page:

Executables and libraries created with the MATLAB Compiler product use a runtime engine called the MATLAB Compiler Runtime (MCR). The MCR is provided with MATLAB Compiler for distribution with your application and can be deployed royalty-free.
