Heh. After running MSVC Setup's "Repair" program (which, again, took an
hour or so) Visual Studio now starts. And then closes with the message
"Your evaluation time span has expired" (although I never even used
it). I don't think I'm going to feel familiar with MSVC at any point in
time. What a crude world Windows is.

Yeah, I know, it's possible :-). It's just a question of how much time I
want to investigate. But honestly, for this one programme I want to run
on Windows, it will take less time if I write it in C/C++ and
crosscompile it with MXE (or compile it natively with MSYS2), even if D
is a nicer language. If I find fun in developing on LDC, that's
something different, but as only an intermediate goal I'm not willing to
investigate that much.

Greetings
Marvin
