VisualD: link failure

I'm using Visual Studio Community 2013 Version 12.031101.00 Update 4 and Visual D 0.3.41 beta2.

Building with Visual D fails every time, with any project. Upon examining the log it seems an excessive '+' is added to the .lib or .obj file names in the linking step.

Here's the log of building the app wizard generated console project and another log of building the wizard generated windows project.

Try 'link --help' for more information.

Thank you Rainer, you are absolutely right, my dmd path setting is wrong.
