How can I verify if `link.exe` is correctly installed and accessible on my Windows system after installing Visual Studio components?

Open a new command prompt (not an existing one, to ensure fresh environment variables) and type `where link.exe`. If it's installed and correctly configured in your system's PATH, this command will return the full path to `link.exe`. If it returns "Could not find files for the given pattern(s)" or a similar error, it means `link.exe` is either not installed or its location is not discoverable via the system's `PATH` variable.
