Okay so I reinstalled 4th time by first cleaning up with 
InstallCleanup.exe 
(https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/install/remove-visual-studio?view=vs-2019) and this time VisualD got installed.

However when I enable "Experimental: use DMD parsing engine for 
semantic analysis", i get lots of weird errors during 
intellisense (not during building) -
```

DMD parsing engine was the only reason I tried to use VisualD. 
However it does not work for some reason. Maybe it needs to be 
updated for the latest D release? IDK. The editor tooling for 
Dlang is really bad :(
