Linker can't link functions from advapi

[Deen O'Connor]

So i got this problem when i tried to compile my project in VS 17 
with VisualD plugin.

It compiled just fine, i got no errors from DMD, but both optlink 
and vs linker tell me that i have 3 unknown functions - 
OpenProcessToken, LookupPrivilegeValue and AdjustTokenPrivileges.

I tried converting advapi32.dll to .lib, this did not solve the 
problem, because with the necessary .lib file set in project 
settings i get a message telling me that my advapi32.lib is 
corrupt.

Idk what to do, and i don't want to re-write everything with 
another language.
