Okay, I've re-installed DMD, rebuilt GtkD, and installed GtkD.  Now a Win32 app compiles but I get a sequence of error boxes that pop up before the program gets to main():

Unhandled exception at 0x75e3c41f in WindowsApp2.exe 0xE440001: 0xe0440001

(I hit continue)

(I hit continue)

(I hit OK)

(I hit continue)

Then main() is entered.

Then upon continuing I get an infinitely repeating

Unhandled exception at 0x00000000 in WindowsApp2.exe: 0xC0000005:

message box popping up.

Did you check that path to Gtk runtime binaries is the first? I guess there is some other application in your path variable that is using different zlib1.dll and when you run your app it load incorrect version that results in what you get. Check you path once again.

GtkD 2.x wraps Gtk+ 3.x so you will need the 3.8 runtime from: https://code.google.com/p/gtkd-packages/downloads/list

I will check out why it doesn't print the error message about not being able to find the Gtk3 dll.

I get the same errors except for the zlib ones when all Gtk-runtimes are uninstalled, so it seems like you're right that the runtime is not being found.

Okay, I've installed that 3.8 runtime, set both the user and system path vars at the beginnings and ends to have the runtime/bin dir.

Restarted Vis D.  Still have unhandled exceptions at run time.

Should I try removing everything gtk-using and related from my
system?

Try putting the path to the Gtk3 runtime at the start of the path, and then restart the machine and try again.

Okay, works now!

The last problem I had was with the path.  Solution:  place your runtime/bin dir (e.g. C:\Program Files (x86)\Gtk-Runtime\bin) at the beginning of the *System* path and not the *User* path variable.

Thanks all for the help, yo.
