  1. Suggest installing VS Build Tools in more situations 

    When MSVC's `link.exe` wasn't found but another `link.exe` was, the error message given can be impenetrable to many users. The usual suspect is GNU's `link` tool. In this case, inform the user that they may need to install VS build tools.

This only applies when Microsoft's link tool is expected. Not `lld-link` or other MSVC compatible linkers.
