bugger, now what?

maybe set things up? maybe follow this: https://wiki.dlang.org/Installing_DMD_on_64-bit_Windows_7_(COFF-compatible)?

Except on my machine, the win7 sdk didn't want to install due to prerelease version of .NET Framework. So I install v 4.6.2 from https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/confirmation.aspx?id=53344 and recall why I hate doing things on windows..

restart. (hang on..)

and it fixed nothing!!!!

maybe chocolatey can do it?

choco install windows-sdk-7.1

nope, same problem.

Ok, it doesn't like my version of .net.

I need to revert .net to version 4? Maybe.. No?

need this stuff too?

Ok, got a windows 10 box now. Download windows 10 sdk from https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/downloads/windows-10-sdk

guess I'll let it install everything.
