Cannot Build/Run VisualD Console Example

I installed Visual D a few minutes ago(I wanted to give the language a test drive) and, using the built-in console example, tried to build and run it. Here is the code that Visual Studio generated for me:

import std.stdio;

int main(string[] argv)
{
    writeln("Hello D-World!");
    return 0;
}

And here is the build error that I recieved:

Oh, and here is what the "Details saved as" printed out:

When I build the app I get a message box that says:

Anyone know what I could have done wrong?

Solution

  • Writing my comment as an answer since it seems to have solved the problem: the old install of the compiler and library had to be removed and a fresh, new version put on top of it.

    What happened is the old range.d got replaced with a new range/ folder in a recent version of the library, but installing the new version kept the old file in place. So the compiler got confused: is it supposed to use the folder or the file? The unsinstall+reinstall cleaned up, removing the old file, leaving only the new.
