I'm try to rebuild phobos with debug info.
Got the error in registry.d
std\windows\registry.d(972): no property 'message' for type
'RegistryException'

the code is as follows:
----------------
catch(RegistryException x)
{
    assert(x.error == code);
    if(string != x.toString())
    {
    printf( "UnitTest failure for RegistryException:\n"
    " x.message[%d;\"%.*s\"] does not equal [%d;\"%.*s\"]\n"
    , x.message.length, x.message
    , string.length, string);
    }
    assert(message == x.msg);
}

-------------
Since RegistryException is ultimately derived from Exception, this class has
the variable called msg not message.
So x.message needs to be changed to x.msg

This is because I'd developed, and submitted to Walter, the class Win32Exception in a separate file - std/windows/exceptions.d -  and he appears to have defined his own, erroneously simplified, version within registry.d, rather than either incorporating the new file into Phobos, or the full definition into registry.d.

I have no control over either of these, but I expect Walter'll fix it up next time.

For the moment, you might just change Win32Exception in registry.d to the following:

    /// This class is the root exception class for Win32, and provides mechanisms
    /// for representing Win32 error codes and extracting error translation
messages.
    class Win32Exception
        : Exception
    {
    /// \name Construction
    //@{
    public:
        /// \brief Creates an instance of the exception
        ///
        /// \param message The message associated with the exception
        this(char[] message)
        {
            this(message, GetLastError());
        }
        /// \brief Creates an instance of the exception, with the given
        ///
        /// \param message The message associated with the exception
        /// \param error The Win32 error number associated with the exception
        this(char[] message, int error)
        {
            char    sz[24]; // Enough for the three " ()" characters and a 64-bit
integer value
            int     cch = wsprintfA(sz, " (%d)", error);

            m_message = message;
            m_error   = error;

            super(message ~ sz[0 .. cch]);
        }
    //@}

    /// \name Attributes
    //@{
    public:
        /// Returns the message string associated with the exception
        char[] message()
        {
            return m_message;
        }

        /// Returns the Win32 error code associated with the exception
        int error()
        {
            return m_error;
        }

        /// Converts the error code into a string, searching the default system
message libraries
        char[] lookupError()
        {
            return FormatMessage(m_error);
        }

        /// Converts the error code into a string, searching the given message
module
        ///
        /// \note Not yet implemented
        char[] lookupError(char[] moduleName)
        {
            return FormatMessage(m_error, moduleName);
        }
    //@}

    /// \name Members
    //@{
    private:
        char[]  m_message;
        int     m_error;
    //@}
    }
