Greetings,
straight to the problem - latest release(2.064.2) has a nasty bug with distribution. official installer missing Runtime.initialize() and Runtime.terminate() symbols in phobos.lib for x64 version.

i tried to use rt_init() and rt_term() and at first it looks working, but then i have some code(including COM interface calls) and writeln's failing (string enforcement fails), which is symptoms that runtime or GC not initialized.

unfortunately i can't continue using x86(yes it is working) until VisualD get fixed for VS 2013... and if i remove winmain and use plain main it is all works again. so is there any workaround for this problem without rebuilding whole DMD & phobos?

(my system - windows 8.1 x64, VS 2013, windows sdk 8.1, dmd 2.064.2 )

You should file bugs for this and include a failing example.
