Thanks for any help once more... Who knows what path it is using for libs, I don't know if it does for lld-link and the config file was removed almost entirely. It determines these things on it's own and I'm not sure if there is any way to display what it is actually using without looking through the source. Try using the "-v" argument with DMD and look for the command it uses to run the linker. There might be a parameter passed for library paths there. Those two files were removed since VS 2015 I think, so odds are that's why it can't find it. If it is using a newer VS install path.
