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.
I don't do much on Windows, so I was having trouble with
getting the VS stuff installed correctly. I borrowed this
command from the Swift installation guide and everything
worked:
```
winget install --id Microsoft.VisualStudio.2022.Community
--exact --force --custom "--add
Microsoft.VisualStudio.Component.Windows11SDK.22000 --add
Microsoft.VisualStudio.Component.VC.Tools.x86.x64"
```
Thanks for the idea.
The winget installation completed without issues.
Unfortunately, 'dmd hello.c' produced the same error message as
before.
you need to invoke that command inside this windoze stupid thing:
