Hey! Thanks for the suggestion.

I'd rather figure out whatever is the problem between my 
particular Visual Studio configuration and what VisualD needs to 
work.
I installed it on another machine today and it worked almost out 
of the box, except for having to restart Visual Studio.
I had hoped someone may have experience with similar issues.

Out of curiosity, how do you go about debugging Dlang specific 
features with remedybg, like ranges, associative arrays, mixins 
or templates?
