I believe the following DLL files in the <install directory>\bin\win64\ directory of MATLAB have issues in locked-down Windows (i.e. without administrator privileges):
libgit2.dll
libssh2.dll
This causes julia to fail with stacktraces similar to the following:
fatal: error thrown and no exception handler available.
InitError(mod=:LibCURL_jll, error=ErrorException("could not load library "libcurl-4.dll"
The specified procedure could not be found. "))

### Stacktrace truncated
By renaming these files and re-running the build step, Julia is able to use Mex.jl as expected.
Renaming these DLL files requires administrator privileges, so this is not a viable solution for locked-down Windows users (i.e. without administrator privileges).
I believe Julia would need a patch to fix this issue.
