For some reason it complains that link.exe is missing. Anyone know what's up?

Can't run '\bin\link.exe', check PATH

link.exe is definitely on PATH...

C:\D\dmd2\windows\bin\link.exe

-m64 needs a different link.exe. It uses the Microsoft linker so you've gotta be sure that one is installed and the path of the VS bin is in there too.

The dmd install exe will do all this for you, but then you need to remember to run the "D2 64 bit command prompt" so the PATH is set rather than just any cmd.
