The problem is, D Language Compiler is not included along the 
Windows Operating System.
Neither msvcr120.dll is included along the Windows Operating 
System.
You have to download it. No other way.

How can you download it, if your .exe binary that has the 
functionality to download it, cannot even be started due to 
msvcr120.dll not existing on the operating system.

You can try to use pre-existing Command Line Utilities like 
bitsadmin (Windows 7), curl (Windows 10), but really how can you 
interact with them from within D Language Binary if it can't even 
launch.

You can try to write a batch script for all that.

I really do not want to write batch scripts for the rest of my 
life,
that's why I'm here in the D Language Forum.

It required administrator privilegies and this is only a 
HelloWorld example
of the D language deployed on computers, where the D language is 
yet to be installed.
