I had an old dmd2 setup that worked perfectly. I recently installed VS2013, SDK 8, DMD 2.064.2, and VS 3.37 on a fresh system. I copied the project to the HD, updated the sc.ini files and tried to compile. Basic projects would compile but my old projects would give errors either: user32.lib not found when trying to use optilink. I spend about 2 hours trying various ways to get it to find the user32.lib file. It will only look in the project dir. I setup `LIB=` in environment in sc.ini with no luck. In x64 mode, the linker gives an error that dmd.obj could not be found. There is no such thing as dmd.obj and I have no idea why it is finding this. It could be an issue with visual.d but I see no where that it says anything about dmd.obj.
Please check the output in the build log, it contains the actually executed command line.
I can't get my old projects to compile. Not that it matters, but here is my sc.ini file. The project seems to compile file but simply won't link because of the above 2 issues.
Please also check the settings in Visual Studio under "Tools->Options->Project and solutions->Visual D->DMD Directories". Depending on the settings there, sc.ini might get ignored.

You must use the LIB="%@P%\..\lib" line, the lib folder also contains user32.lib in the format appropriate for optlink. The Windows SDK contains libraries in COFF format that optlink does not understand. (Search for coffimplib to find a converter tool.)
