I've fixed it yesterday 
(https://gitlab.com/basile.b/dexed/-/commit/730c2a4e6e1ae18d603d91c471bf3b6459ce7b52) using my mom's laptop ^^.
Fortunately I've found an old post from p0nce 
(https://forum.dlang.org/post/mscgsclxwtjcferfxoet@forum.dlang.org) that explained in detail how to make dll on win and the error has become obvious.

Also in IDA the list of the exports showed nothing... that was a 
huge f**ing clue.

anyway the Windows version is verified to work now.
Only thing is that a msvc140.dll might be necessary, but this is 
not a dexed problem. In this case people can just get it from the 
official microsoft website.
