Unlike some other operating systems, 64-bit Windows versions can
run 32-bit software just fine. If you require targeting Win64 (or
the Microsoft C runtime), that is specific to your use case.
And, again, Visual Studio is not required if you want to target
Win64 - only the necessary toolchain components (linker and C
runtime), which you can also obtain from an SDK.

Again, everything should be already working. We are talking about
a convenience feature that automatically sets up the D compiler's
configuration file, nothing more. That's all there is to the
"integration". You can trivially do the same thing by hand, or
set up your environment accordingly - all in a fraction of the
time it took you to write these pointless complaints on this
forum.
