Hey Rainer. I think I'm using v0.47, at least that's what I just installed, but VS (2017) keeps telling me the plugin version is still v0.46.
Anyway, I just tried building DMD master with the provided .sln, after changing the D compiler to LDC (1.11 multilib) in the general project settings. It's apparently trying to invoke ldmd2.exe without any path and fails to find it (unless an LDC bin dir is in PATH). I've obviously set the LDC install dir appropriately in the VisualD settings and even added the bin folder explicitly to 'executable paths'.

VS2017 stores settings in a private registry that msbuild cannot access.
msbuilding with Visual D 0.47 also checks HKLM\Software\LDC\InstallationFolder, but the latest visuald from Appveyor https://ci.appveyor.com/project/rainers/visuald also places the settings into a HKCU-key.
Please note that the new compiler detection fails in the appveyor build because of a bug in phobos in stock dmd.
