Simple Hello World project compiles and runs okay.

I did do that. My directory structure is like this:
DCode/dlangide
DCode/dlangui
DCode/dlangui/deps/<lots-of-stuff-in-here>

Which I assume is what you are describing.
I just tried opening the setup I had from last time (ie 
dlangui-msvc.sln) and compile that (startup project set and all), 
now I get
http://www.digitalmars.com/ctg/optlink.html
OPTLINK : Warning 9: Unknown Option : OUT
OPTLINK : Error 12: Number Overflow : 
Building Debug\dlangide.exe failed!

I'm starting to think that either my VS or VD installation is 
cursed (I recently reinstalled VS though, so that shouldn't be 
it, maybe VD? But it generally works and I do have the latest 
stable version of it).

I redid my setup again right now, though, but apparently the 
current master has some compiler errors:
src\dlangui\core\files.d(264): Error: cannot implicitly convert 
expression (lastSlash + 1LU) of type ulong to uint
src\dlangui\core\files.d(354): Error: cannot implicitly convert 
expression (start) of type ulong to uint.

After crudely fixing these with cast(uint) I got it to build 
though.
So, something about my computer is definitely cursed (I ran the 
EXACT same commands as always - basically straight copy-paste 
from the Readme in DlangIDE and I didn't notice any changes to 
this file since I first did the setup).

Anyhow, it finally builds! \o/

Thanks a lot for the help and putting up with my incompetence at 
diagnosing issues through this, will probably start hacking away 
on things as time permits :-)
