I used to use them all the time in Visual Studio Express C++ but for some reason I can't seem to find them.  I've poked and prodded around for days.

thanks.

Of the environment variables the Visual Studio Command Prompts set, the default sc.ini makes use of VCINSTALLDIR and WindowsSdkDir to enable 64-bit builds. By default the Windows installer automatically detects what these should be and sets them in sc.ini itself.

If you didn't use the installer dmd should still work when run from a Visual Studio Command Prompt. My experience is mostly with non-Express so some things may differ.

See the current sc.ini for more details:
