I'm on a Win64 machine and compiling Win32 works fine. I'm using Visual
Studio 17 Community with Visual D. DMD is up to date as is Visual D.
I added a x64 "solution platform" to the configuration manager which
added a -m64 flag to my linker options. I'm not sure what else I'm meant
to do to get it to compile as x64?
That usually happens if the DMD bin folder is searched first in the PATH
variable (unfortunately the linker and other tools have the same name as
the Microsoft programs).
You should verify that the VC folder is listed first in
Tools->Options->Projects and Solutions->Visual D Settings->DMD
Directories->x64->Executable Paths, i.e.
$(VCTOOLSINSTALLDIR)bin\HostX86\x86
should be listed before
$(DMDInstallDir)windows\bin
