I am working on a loaner laptop (windows) do to COVID-19. So I don't have my usual VS2019 tools.
We are not legally supposed to use VS Community edition on company equipment (we don't qualify as a 1000+ non-profit).
Just installed rust on the loaner, but I am getting this error on cargo build
error: could not compile `proc-macro2`.
warning: build failed, waiting for other jobs to finish...
error: linker `link.exe` not found

= note: The system cannot find the file specified. (os error 2)
note: the msvc targets depend on the msvc linker but `link.exe` was not found
note: please ensure that VS 2013, VS 2015, VS 2017 or VS 2019 was installed with the Visual C++ option
