Np. I fully appreciate it was D Conf happening over the same time 
period.

I actually do have the VS SDK installed - my VS2015 
(Professional) shows installed under 'Universal Windows App 
Development Tools' that 'Tools (1.4.1) and Windows 10 SDK 
(10.0.1393)' is installed. I did not install the 2 earlier 
Windows 10 SDK versions also available on the VS2015 media..

I wonder ... I've recently uninstalled VS2010 and installed 
VS2015.... maybe I have some legacy VS2010 artifacts 
(environmental vars, paths, etc) lying around, which are causing 
problems for DMD. I'll have a look.

Yes, but I uninstalled the previous one along with VS2010. And 
then reinstalled the later version bundled with VS2015.

Once again, thanks for the assistance - as well as for VisualD!
