          Issue ID: 19690
           Summary: Installer fails to register MSBuild extensions for
                    Visual Studio Build Tools
           Product: D
           Version: D2
          Hardware: x86
                OS: Windows
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P1
         Component: visuald
          Assignee: nobody at puremagic.com
          Reporter: rmanth at gmail.com

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.
