I'm trying to learn D using Visual D in Visual Studio Community 2015. Both dmd and ldc give me this error when building from Visual Studio. Any ideas? I'm able to build C++ projects...

So I figured this one out. I set my dmd directory wrong. I could not find where to correct this though in visual d's configurations. I probably just kept glossing over it. What I ended up doing was uninstalling visual d and reinstalling where I noticed it defaulted me to my D folder, but I needed to point it at dmd's root folder.

Just in case anyone was wondering what the fix was to this.

I had to update "Visual Studio 2015 Update 2" to "Visual Studio 2015 Update 3" to resolve that issue.

Another way is just copy and rename "FileTracker.dll" to "FileTracker32.dll" in "%ProgramFiles%\MSBuild\<version>\Bin" folder. Make sure you also renamed the file "FileTrackerUI.dll" to "FileTracker32UI.dll" in the latest LCID folder (latest numbered folder in same location).

But that's the hard fix. Probably MSBuid issue.

Don't forget to make copy!! That'll bring you even more problems while compiling other projects! It worked for me!
