It seems that this assembly is not installed by VS unconditionally. See also https://stackoverflow.com/questions/43447112/creating-new-wix-project-in-visual-studio-2017-throws-an-error

My guess is that enabling "Visual Studio Extension Development" in the VS installer might help.

Your guess was correct after checking "Visual Studio Extension Development" I am able to open initial Template.

Maybe it would be good to include this info in the documentation or trigger the component install during installation.

Anyway it is not a round thing at all because the opened template is not able
to build and compile a simple "hello world" out of the box.
I had to fix the link.exe path by hand and still now it cannot launch debugger
on WindowsApp3.exe... I never asked to debug, it should simply comüpile, link
and execute...

I guess more paths twisted, more things not configured for a smoth initial experience :(

=> issue fixed but due to lack of docu I will switch IDE if i find one

I tried to reproduce with a fresh installation, and succeeded by just installing the "Core Editor" without any "workload". By adding a dependency to the Visual D extension the missing assembly is installed, too.

Visual D works in this environment to some extent, but only when using the DigitalMars tool chain, i.e. x86 with OMF. Other parts expect the VC components to be installed. I'll update the documentation accordingly.
