MS have a new distribution of their toolchain which is independent of VS. http://landinghub.visualstudio.com/visual-cpp-build-tools The DMD installer needs to detect and auto-configure for these paths. This allows us to promote a windows build solution that doesn't require installation of (huge) visual studio.

LDC already detects it. The registry keys to be looked into (supporting both VS and the Build Tools alone) can be found here: https://github.com/ldc-developers/ldc/blob/master/vcbuild/msvcEnv.bat
