I just ran into this today. With the dmd 2.077.1 Windows 
installer things just work, and it's never necessary to call 
vcvarsall.bat to build D code for 64-bit.

Since dmd 2.078.0, with Visual Studio 2015, nothing works 
anymore, and sc.ini doesn't seem to reference Visual Studio at 
all like it used to.
