While trying to use "dmd_msc" as the compiler (DMD built with Visual Studio):

test.d:
-----
module test;

import std.stdio;

unittest
{
    assert(0);
}

void main()
{
    writeln("here");
}
-----

$ rdmd --chatty --force -unittest --compiler=dmd_msc test.d

It then spits out these and just exits:

But if I add an .exe extension, it will work:

$ rdmd --chatty --force --compiler=dmd_msc.exe test.d
