So, I did and the results are good [rc2], previously [1.68] not all the
stack-trace libs built correctly, now they all do.

Thanks Peter.

And also thanks to Olaf (sorry for the Olav) as your help stopped me from
searching under the lamp-post by confirming that all was good in respect of
vc-install. 1809 is up now in case you missed it:
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10. I think this
option is more reliable, just mount the iso and run the setup file [i.e.
don't use windows update nor boot from a dvd/thumb-stick].
