VisualD is up and running.
I can build vibe.d outside of VisualD and it runs OK.

What I can't do is build, debug and run Vibe.d within VisualD inside Visual Studio 2015 Community Edition.

I get this error when I attempt to build the initial Hello World inside VisualD:
  Error: module d is in file 'vibe\d.d which cannot be read

Please provide step by step instructions of how to create a Visual Studio Solution/Project, add vibe.d to it, and run Hello World within VisualD.

I'm not a user of vibe.d, but AFAICT the expected usage is to let dub generate the solution for you with "dub generate visuald".

Even if you don't want to use the generated project, it will show you how to set the import path to find the vibe.d sources (which leads to the error above), add vibe.d version identifiers and library files for linking.

This is good.  Success now.  Here are the step by step instructions.

I have all my vibed projects in D:\D\vibed\
  which is my starting directory path.  You should substitute your directory path, such as C:\D\vibed\ or C:\vibed\

In Windows Console:
  D:\D\vibed> dub init Page7_Greetings -t vibe.d
  Successfully created an empty project in 'D:\vibed\Page7_Greetings

  D:\D\vibed> cd Page7_Greetings

  D:\D\vibed\Page7_Greetings> dub generate visuald
  Solution 'page7_greetings.sln' generated.
  Copying files for vibe-d:core...

Open D:\D\vibed\Page7_Greetings\page7_greetings.sln in Visual Studio 2015 Community Edition.

Change D:\D\vibed\page7_greetings\page7_greetings\source\app.d, line 15
  from: res.writeBody("Hello, World!");
    to: res.writeBody("Greetings, World!");
  just to make a change and see that it takes.

In Visual Studio run:
  Debug | Start Debugging (F5)

Open Firefox browser to:
  localhost:8080

which displays:
  Greetings, World!

When trying this in Visual Studio 2017, when building 5 same error messages appear.
"Deprecation: alias diet.traits.FilterCallback is deprecated - Use SafeFilterCallback instead."

Replacing static FilterCallback with static SafeFilterCallback just creates two different errors.

Any ideas on how to build Hello, World! with vibe-d, VisualD and Visual Studio 2017?
Thank you!

Despite it says "error" it is actually a warning, unless you build in release(it has stricter rules on warnings and other stuff) it should compiles just fine.

And this message is for Vibe devs (you aren't using these functions in your project code anywhere, right?)
