I am confused. Microsoft C/C++ tool chain is required in
order to use dmd? How?
For 32-bit compilation, no, no additional download is
necessary. For 64-bit, you need the Microsoft COFF linker and
C runtime. The installer will try to automatically configure
dmd to use those if you have them already. Have you tried it?
Using Win64 from the zip file will require some manual
configuration, similar to these somewhat outdated instructions
on the wiki:
http://wiki.dlang.org/Installing_DMD_on_64-bit_Windows_7_(COFF-compatible)
There is also experimental support for 32-bit COFF in the
latest git HEAD. :)
That currently says it has no text. This is frustrating trying
to get 64 bit DMD to work, it really needs to be easier.
You need to append a ")", the forum software doesn't see it as
part of the link.
