Hmm, so I jigged it so it's able to find mspdb100.dll, but now
link.exe complains: "The application was unable to start correctly

That's weird.
Okay, my cludge was a 32bit/64bit dll mismatch. Works now, so it is all
about pathing problems.
This shit has really gotta 'just work' out of the box.
Walter: Is it possible to completely override sc.ini? What needs to be
done to get there?
Rainer: What is the current state of VisualD's overriding sc.ini? What's
complicating the process?
I guess you are using the latest beta of Visual D, don't you?
The situation with multiple versions of Visual Studio installed is dealt
with by always calling the linker separately (not through dmd). This
still captures all settings from sc.ini, but overrides some if "override
linker settings" is enabled.
What seems to happen is that the default executable paths do not contain
<VSInstallDir>\Common7\IDE, but this is needed by the linker to find the
mspdb*.dll. PATH is modified to that respect in sc.ini, but it is
patched by the D installer to the latest VS version only.
So please try adding $(VCInstallDir)\..\Common7\IDE to the executable
paths for x64 builds. I'll add this to the defaults aswell.
[Unfortunately it seems this is a slight simplification, because for the
VS2013 shell, the appropriate files are in $(VCInstallDir)\bin.
