OK, so I found this on the forum [1], where Rainer indicated that 
tracker.exe is part of MS-Build.

Searching on my drive I found tracker.exe is actually part of the 
Windows SDK (in both x32 and x64 flavours), so I guess what 
Rainer is referring to as "MS-Build" is actually the 
(command-line) build system of the SDK.

But its location was not specified in my PATH environment 
variable.

Updating my PATH with its location [2] cured the problem.

[1] http://forum.dlang.org/post/oqa9in$2scu$1@digitalmars.com
[2] c:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0A\Bin\NETFX 
4.0 Tools\

So all is good again!
