Dumpbin.exe, editbin.exe package needed in Visual Studio 2019?

I did a reasonably complete installation of Visual Studio 2019 but am missing tools like dumpbin.exe and editbin.exe which I had in Visual Studio 2017. (Missing meaning: Not callable in developer command prompt, also cannot be found on HD using tools like everything.)

According to MSDN, they have a section named "Additional MSVC build tools", but I cannot make anything out of that when looking at the Visual Studio installer. (see https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/build/reference/editbin-reference?view=vs-2019 )

Which package/component am I missing during setup?

Eventually (loathing the 1GB+ download/install) I tried it, and now I got it at
