With Visual Studio 2017, Microsoft has changed the folder structure it uses for everything. link.exe is now located at C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Enterprise\VC\Tools\MSVC\14.10.24728\bin\HostX64\x64\link.exe. As you can see, the folder is dependent on the actual edition of Visual Studio as well.

Currently, Rust does not seem to recognize this path correctly. I don’t know exactly what Rust needs to figure out the paths, but if you need some information (e.g. registry values, contents of vcvarsall.bat or something), just tell me what you need and I’ll try my best to provide you with it.
