I recently removed Visual Studio 2017 and upgraded to 2022. When I installed the latest DMD, it told me it couldn’t find a Visual Studio installation and offered me to download e.g. Visual Studio 2019 or just VS 2019 Build Tools, etc.

Unsure what to do, I thought VS 2019 Build Tools is probably the most light-weight. I just removed VS 2019 Build Tools and DMD seems to work just fine. Probably I could have gotten away with installing nothing.

Is there something I’m missing or did the installer just not detect VS 2022? It’s installed at C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\Professional, the default install location.

I've gone ahead and reported it, most likely nobody has used VS2022 professional edition.

I will try with VS 2022 Professional as well
