Any idea what could be causing this?
Mentioning at least the used LDC version would be helpful; especially since the MSVC detection was completely overhauled with the v1.22 betas (and I think the previous non-existing-LDC_VSDIR hack wouldn't work anymore).
LDC doesn't need a reinstall when tampering the VS installations (there's no setup process, MSVC auto-detection runs each time). - Assuming you are using an LDC version < 1.22, you can manually check the auto-detection result by invoking `bin\msvcEnv.bat <x64|x86>` (e.g., by checking the env variables afterwards via `set`). Some leftovers from uninstalled VS installations might be problematic, but probably hardly the reason for a 32-bit libcmt.lib to be linked with a 64-bit target.
But I'd start first with checking whether LDC/dub works in a naked command prompt, to rule out that VisualD is interfering. [And adding -v to the LDC commandline is useful for debugging linking problems.]
