No, I am not using MinGW/Cygwin, neither do I have Visual Studio 
installed.
I tried the '-v' to see what happens (as suggested), and it threw back a 
whole lot of information which I could not understand.

Is there any way to install "only" LINK.EXE?
If yes, any particular place where I could look for the installable? 
MSDN!
