          Issue ID: 19624
           Summary: x64 Build paths for VS 2017 are wrong after
                    installation. VCINSTALL is deeper
           Product: D
           Version: D2
          Hardware: x86_64
                OS: Windows
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P1
         Component: visuald

Hi,
win32 is building fine but with 64 bit I have trouble libs/paths 

$VCINSTALDIR does never ever contain a /bin/linker.exe in VS2017, the folder is
much deeper and by the way I have no idea which treebranch to choose.

I tried:
C:\VisualStudio2017\VC\Tools\MSVC\14.16.27023\bin\Hostx64\x64\link.exe

Even then I get:
LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'libucrtd.lib'

That file I found somewhere else and dropped it in the path of dmd... to find
that another lib is missing... dropping that leads to a final disaster as it
needs obviously 4 other files near by ... obviously not the way to go, without
a deeper idea of the build chain,

While it turned out to be important AND undocumented that VS needs "Visual
Studio extension development" extension I have the feeling that MSVC folder
content was created only after "Desktop development with C++ " installation in
VS => right? Should be in docu as well.

So something is broken and the installer is not able to get it right, while
setting $ environment is done by MS in the dark.

I am lost
Marc
