Hi,

I am building a webapp using vibe.d which is working well on macOS and Linux. However, when I run it on windows I get:
Program exited with code -1073741701

I created a new default project with: dub init test -t vibe.d
and get the same error code when running it.

Any suggestions what could be wrong?

I managed to get it to work with ldc, still not sure why it isn't working with dmd.

In case you have an older version of dub, dmd will build an x86 executable by default with OMF (Windows). Never versions of dub defaults to architecture x86_64 with COFF.
LDC builds only COFF for x86 and x86_64.

Kind regards
Andre

Worked it out,
Had to do with my Visual Studio installation (I think?). The dmd installer was quite vague about this imo, only telling me to install VS, but not what part. Somehow got it to work now.
