Then it went just as 2.078.0 - still missing legacy_stdio_definitions.lib that I need to add manually in the command line. The UCRT library path and legacy_stdio_definitions.lib should have been detected automatically. I suspect that the Build Tools don't set the environment variable VisualStudioVersion (why should they?) which is used to detect whether the UCRT library path and legacy_stdio_definitions.lib are needed. This PR https://github.com/dlang/dmd/pull/7500 would have fixed that by changing the detection to the existence of legacy_stdio_definitions.lib in the VC library path. Unfortunately it didn't make it into the release. (The PR contains other stuff, too, that was not meant to go into a .1 release.) (Having VS installed would help, too, as it is also detected without the environment set.)

If you setup a D compiler you have DUB automatically nowadays.

It is a tool included with all visual studio variants. Kind regards Andre
