What is your `dmd --version`? I suspect you have a version where you still have to manually pre-process the .c file, instead of a more recent version which invokes the pre-processor itself.

```
C:\Users\SoftDev>dmd --version
DMD32 D Compiler v2.100.2-dirty
Copyright (C) 1999-2022 by The D Language Foundation, All Rights Reserved written by Walter Bright

```

You may want to use the nightly build if you're working with ImportC: https://github.com/dlang/dmd/releases/tag/nightly They're doing a lot of work with it.

Downloaded latest dmd for windows from website:
```
C:\Users\SoftDev>dmd --version
DMD32 D Compiler v2.101.2-dirty
Copyright (C) 1999-2022 by The D Language Foundation, All Rights Reserved written by Walter Bright
```

But trial still failed:

```
C:\Users\SoftDev\Documents\BDM\D\ImportC>dmd ex01.c
failed launching cl.exe /P /Zc:preprocessor /PD /nologo ex01.c /FIC:\D\dmd2\windows\bin\..\..\src\druntime\import\importc.h /Fiex01.i Error: C preprocess command cl.exe failed for file ex01.c, exit status 1

```

It works for me

```
C:\Users\ryuukk\tmp>dmd -run ex01.c
hello world
```

Double check your visual studio installation, something is wrong with your install probably

Tried twice - same result.

But VS installation is itself (IMO) not particularly intuitive.
Would it be possible either to cite known working VS installation options on DLang website, or produce Windows installation script that takes such options automatically?
