Installing bind on Windows 10

[Brown, William]

After I hit send, I thought I should add this request to ISC:

Can you keep supporting dig (and perhaps other select tools) on Windows?  Some of us are forced to use Windows workstations while the servers run some *nix flavor.

The service account is to run BIND as a DNS server.  Click the box to install tools only.  Add the directory containing the extracted files to you path in Windows to make life easier.

Hello I'm working installing an equivalent to dig on windows and stumbled upon the following site: https://phoenixnap.com/kb/dig-windows



During the installation I'm asked for a service account - I don't believe I have any additional accounts on the computer - will I be required to create another one as a service account? Additionally I am unable to install due to the Visual C++ 2017 requirement. I have a number of different Visual Studio Redistributables installed (I am unable to upload an image as part of this support request). I do not feel comfortable uninstalling them randomly but I do have one (2015-2022 x64 14.32.31332) that seems to be more current than the one bundled with the installation.
