Personally, VS is such a pain in the $$@#$# that I would remove 
any reference of it from the installer.

i.e rather than the installer offering to install VS2013, just 
have the installer display a shortcut to the wiki, if the 
installer can't find vs. don't offer to install it..you'll almost 
certainly ruins the clients computer with all the various 
dependencies and crap that vs requires....

Let the wiki take care of it all.

But gee...what a mess MS have made with VS...have a look at all 
these people complaining....

I don't think trying to dominate the world of software 
development..with a single app...was a very good strategy. 
They've stuffed up big time!

The less the D language partakes in that stuff up.. the better D 
will be for it.
