I had the exact same problem, very frustrating.  I believe I 
solved the issue,
it was a simple error.

   When you are installing D, on Windows, it asks you to download 
MSVC, if it isn't
already present.

  Basically you are missing some form of dependency, which could 
be different based
on which compiler you are using.

   On my Windows machine I fixed the issue by downloading the 
Microsoft Visual IDE and then
from there I hit a button within that application to download the 
C compiler, MSVC.

After I did that I reinstalled D and it works now.

Thank you
