If I undestand correctly, this message pops up during installation.

I have not tried it yet on any of these OS versions. Could you try checking if there are unresolved symbols from system DLLs with a tool like "dependency walker"?

I checked, dependency walker doesn't say nothing that can help...

So my guess is: D relies on "implicite thread loacal storage", but this is not fully supported for dynamically loaded DLLs on anything earlier than Vista, so probably also not for XP64 and Windows Server 2003.

D reconstructs the missing pieces on XP32, but this relies on a given layout of NTDLL.DLL. If you can send me your versions of this system DLL, I can check whether this is causing the trouble and if a fix is possible. My email is r.sagitario at gmx dot de.

I too have the same problem on my win2003 computer. So, here is my ntdll.dll. I hope this can help to fix the bug.

Thanks. I've taken a look and the workaround actually will fail on this version of ntddl. I'll try to create a fix, which will be in the next version of Visual D (to be released soon).

I've uploaded a priliminary 0.3.16 into the downloads folder. Please try this version to see if installation (and everything else) works now.

Just tried it, unfortunately the same error on Win2003.

I've installed a trial version of Windows Server 2003, and with the latest installer, installing and running Visual D works for me. Are you sure that you have used the updated installer 0.3.16? I've updated it once without incrementing the version number.
(I'd better use rc in the name for preliminary versions and rename it when releasing.)

If you can send me the 32-bit version of ntdll.dll of your xp64 installation, I could give it a try, too.
