This was actually it. Strangely, the platform in the property 
pages for the D project defaulted to x64, while the platform 
specified on the VS toolbar defaulted to x86. This was a fresh 
Visual D project, and I hadn't changed anything. This was also on 
my laptop. On my PC however, I created a new Visual D project, 
and the options in the property pages and on the toolbar were 
both set to Win32, which is what I would expect. I'm not sure 
what to make of this.

Ok, this works for now. My main project is meant to be 
multiplatform and compile on a mac though, so I'll have to 
revisit this issue later with DUB integration in mind.

Thanks
