Plenty of people are using Visual D and VS Code with D. Whatever 
the source of your problem, it's surely fixable. Though if no one 
has encountered this particular issue, then it may take some 
doing to figure out the problem.

I've emailed Rainer, the maintainer of Visual D, to notify him of 
this thread. He might have an idea of what's wrong, or at least 
will be in a position to ask more informed questions than I or 
others to help you solve the problem.

In the future, when you encounter Visual D issues, please post in 
the IDEs forum. Rainer checks in there more regularly and will be 
more likely to see your posts.
