specify the path to this library?  Can I use one of the 
environment variables in sc.ini, one of the Windows env 
variables, or one of the dub options?


Btw, I'm bypassing on purpose the official D installation.

Any error about a missing DLL is a run-time error that's 
unrelated to dub or the compiler.

Normally, for end users, a missing MSVC runtime DLL means you 
have to install the MSVC Redistributable package. This version of 
the DLL you're missing is from MSVC 2013, so that's the version 
of the package you'd need.

However, I wonder what's causing the problem in the first place. 
Do you have Visual Studio installed, or are you using the 
out-of-the-box libraries and linker that ship with DMD?

Thanks for setting me straight. I'm trying to make  D application 
that you can just download and start up. Hopefully with having to 
install D first or the DLL. I see that msvc120.dll is in the same 
directory as dmd.exe.and dub.exe.
