VisualD Console App does not compile on default install VS 2010

[markmnl via Digitalmars-d-learn]

Platform: Windows 8.1 Update 1

After running the all-in-one Windows setup: dmd-2.065.0.exe, and 
creating a new D Console Application in VS 2010 then trying to 
build the application, the build fails with the below written to 
the buildlog.html.

I can confirm writing the Tutorial's Hello World compiles and the 
exe runs from the command line.
