Thanks for your work. I don't actually use Windows, but this is 
much bigger than just one user, as it makes D a viable option for 
data science. It allows the use of D by millions of R users who 
mostly know nothing about compiled languages. If you're looking 
for D's killer app, this is it. But that wasn't possible without 
a sane Windows installation experience - and having to tangle 
with VS made it unrealistic for 99.9%+ of all users. That 
restriction is now gone. Hopefully that gives you motivation to 
keep working.
