cl.exe comes from Visual Studio (MSVC).
If you haven't got it installed, that'll be why.
Otherwise its related to dmd not being able to find it.
Thank you.
I installed Visual Studio 2022, proved the existence of cl.exe,
and added the location to the search path.
However, there is still a problem:
```
dmd hello.c
C:\D\dmd2\windows\bin64\..\..\src\druntime\import\importc.h(134):
fatal error C1034: sal.h: no include path set
Error: C preprocess command cl.exe failed for file hello.c, exit
status 2
```
which looks like dmd found cl.exe, but did not supply it with all
the data it required.
