The MSBuild ImportBefore/ImportAfter properties and targets are only registered for full Visual Studio IDE installations and not for Build Tools as they don't have the same registry entries. Using MSBuild from the command line then fails to find and compile and D code. You can work around it by fetching and installing the files yourself but it makes for a fiddly installation process on CI servers.
