I can confirm that it seems to be working for me now. I installed 
git, downloaded the precompiled binaries and cleared the 
%APPDATA%/code-d/bin.

I feel like this informations needs to be readily accessible for 
newcomers, or just people trying out VS Code for the first time. 
For instance, I could not find anywhere in the Wiki the fact that 
in Windows, you either need to have git installed, or download 
some binaries yourself and paste them in a very specific location 
of your file system.

On the other hand, this page is two clicks away (Resources menu > 
Visual D) from the homepage and describes in full detail the 
Visual-D plugin for Visual Studio:
http://rainers.github.io/visuald/visuald/StartPage.html

Given that VS Code is the favorite D editor according to the 
recent D Community Survey (#1 with 25% market share :) I feel 
like there should be a similar page explaining the several D 
extensions for VS Code, their relationships, and how to 
download/configure them, including the information in this thread.

Anyway, thanks for the amazing work.
Cheers,
Arredondo.
