Unlike some other operating systems, 64-bit Windows versions can 
run 32-bit software just fine. If you require targeting Win64 (or 
the Microsoft C runtime), that is specific to your use case.

And, again, Visual Studio is not required if you want to target 
Win64 - only the necessary toolchain components (linker and C 
runtime), which you can also obtain from an SDK.

Again, everything should be already working. We are talking about 
a convenience feature that automatically sets up the D compiler's 
configuration file, nothing more. That's all there is to the 
"integration". You can trivially do the same thing by hand, or 
set up your environment accordingly - all in a fraction of the 
time it took you to write these pointless complaints on this 
forum.
