--- Comment #26 from Rainer Schuetze <r.sagita...@gmx.de> --- Given that the MS-DLLs are redistributable, we could also just add them to the dmd installation. You can then copy them with your built executable to another computer without having to go through full installation of the VC distributables. Using the VC2010 DLLs has the advantage that later versions don't make it that easy because they require proper manifests. --
