I wrote the Windows BIND installer to install the BIND daemon (named) as
a service with minimum privileges. It creates a service account with
minimum privileges if the service account does not already exist. It was
never intended to install tools. You don't need the installer if you
only want dig. Just copy the dig.exe and the library files (including
OpenSSL) to a folder and add the folder to your PATH environmental
variable. You don't need a service account to run any of the tools.

/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./
