Can you be more specific what you are doing and what is going wrong?

Or start "devenv program.exe" from the command line.
Indeed, you don't have to build with Visual D to use the debugger. The
C++-only native debugger works, but having Visual D installed also comes
with a debugger extension that makes debugging smoother, e.g. you don't
have to know the respective C++ syntax for watch expressions.
BTW: Using compiler options -gf instead of -g will add more debug info
and can improve the debug experience.
