The 64-bit version uses the linker and the runtime of the Visual C 
installation.

Check the [Environment64] section in sc.ini in the dmd2\windows\bin 
folder: it should set the LIB environment variable to the library folder 
of your Visual C installation. The dmd installer usually does this 
automatically, but might have failed for some reason or you have opted 
out of detecting it. In the latter case you should open the "VS x64 
Native Tools Command Prompt" to invoke dmd.
