SuiteSparse Installation: Cannot open include file: 'regex.h'

I am having issues installing SuiteSparse in Matlab. I am using the 5.3 version, downloaded from http://faculty.cse.tamu.edu/davis/suitesparse.html, and using the Visual Studio 2017 C++ compiler. When I run SuiteSparse_install, I get the following error:
c:\users\dylan\documents\school\masters\suitesparse\metis-5.1.0\gklib\GKlib.h(68): fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'regex.h': No such file or directory
And UMFPACK, KLU, CHOLMOD, SuiteSparseQR fail to install. Has anyone got any experience with this, or could point me in the right direction for assistance? I need the sparse2 and spqr functions for my code, as I have a very large over-determined, sparse system to solve, and it is giving Matlab's mldivide a rough time. Thanks!

Hi Dylan,
Thanks for your reply :) I ended up doing the same and it worked.

Why would you need SuiteSparse in MATLAB?
I though MATLAB uses SuiteSparse to begin with.

Dylan, MATLAB uses SuiteSparse for QR of Sprase Matrices to begin with (It's built in). It also uses MKL for BLAS things. Could you show a sample code you get improvement from?
