Looks like the GitHub release page never had working Windows 
binaries because the build script was wrong and apparently never 
tested with a real system...

DUB is bundled with both DMD and LDC, so you don't actually need 
to install it unless you need the latest version. In that case 
you can build it with dub by simply running "dub build dub", and 
the latest binaries should be placed to 
%LOCALAPPDATA%\dub\packages\dub-1.18.0\dub\bin
