Eh, maybe, but I just got it working for me. Try this on for size:

Put it in your dmd2 folder and unzip it there. It will make a new
win32 folder and want to overwrite a gdi32.lib (the one that
comes with dmd is from like Windows 98).
Then try compiling your project with -m64. (It is called win32
but I just used it to do a 64 bit hello world too.)
If you don't have the 64 bit compiler installed, first install
Visual Studio, then install dmd through the Windows installer
exe. That's what I did. Then you can just put my zip in the
c:\d\dmd2, extract it there, and hopefully be good to go.
The fixes I had to do to the headers were pretty minor - a
function was declared in the wrong version block and the CONTEXT
struct for 64 bit was missing, so I brought it over from my VS
install.
It seems to work. I had to specify user32.lib on the compile
command line too btw so it would bring in MessageBoxW on my hello
world.
I am not a compiler person and due to the project time
constraints can't spend the time to get the usual stuff
working, that works with c++ out of the box.
Yeah there's still the possibility of bugs but I really doubt it
is that bad.
