1. VSSDK 140 needs to be added to the search checks in SDK.bat
    if "%VSISDKINC%" == "" if not "%VSSDK140Install%" == "" set VSISDKINC=%VSSDK140Install%

2. WinSDK setter in SDK_libs is wrong. Not sure why, but probably a setup issue on my end. I forced it to the correct location

3. coffimplib path is hard coded. I pointed it to my dmd2/windows/bin location. (not error, just "file not found")


I suggest outputting better error messages that specifically tell the user that they need to find the correct paths and hard code them.

After building VisualD project,

I get the errors

along with a lot of string contatenation issues(depreciated).


Seems doFormat was removed? Maybe that will fix all the other errors.

It seems you are trying to build an older version. I have merged my changes about a week ago. There is also a build on Appveyor that is not complaining:

https://ci.appveyor.com/project/rainers/visuald/

It could be that your Windows SDK is newer than Appveyors version 10.0.14393.0. The automatic conversion might need a little adaptio in that case.

I'll try again, but I downloaded from git and tried to build right before I posted this... so it was less than a week ago.

I did upgrade DMD to 2.073, not sure if that is the problem?

The update to build with 2.073 (including removal of doFormat) was done Jan 6th on https://github.com/rainers/visuald, and merged into https://github.com/dlang/visuald Jan 24th. So I suspect you must have some older source.
