This function isn't implemented in Phobos, it's implemented in
advapi32.dll
You either need to link with advapi32.lib or a linkage.def file with the
following contents (without quotes):
"EXETYPE NT
IMPORTS
_regopenkey...@20 = advapi32.RegOpenKeyExA"
Hope that helps.
I haven't had this problem with any other windows calls that I've used.
As long
as they've been in druntime, they've worked. Are you suggesting that
that's the
case because Phobos or druntime also happened to link aganst any of the
other
windows functions that I've used, and that in this case, they don't, so
I have
to link it explicitly?

Yes, it links with some of the libraries implicitly.
