Oh ok so it works with all of them.

I don't have Windows so I don't know if this has changed, but 
last time I tried to install dmd there it asked to install VS 
2013, I know some people that didn't want to install DMD because 
VS is huge, now that the build tools are an option maybe that's 
the one the installer should suggest (or maybe even suggest both).
