pop up in case my key is wrong
Hi,
when I try to create a new D Project from Menu I can select "Visual D Win 32 Appl" but after defining a Name and "OK" I get a pop-up and it fails:
Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.VisualStudio.TemplateWizardInterface Version=8.0.0.0, Culture=neutrak, PublicKeyToken='b03f5f7f11d50a3a or one of its dependencies. System cannot find the file specified
It is a fresh VS2017 installation triggered from VisualD installer 0.48
I already rebooted => same issue.
The messsage is not telling me anythinh usefull like "something wrong" google shows me that the Messagetext is used for almost everything in VS.

Your guess was correct after checking "Visual Studio Extension Development" I am able to open initial Template.
Maybe it would be good to include this info in the documentation or trigger the component install during installation.
Anyway it is not a round thing at all because the opened template is not able to build and compile a simple "hello world" out of the box.
I had to fix the link.exe path by hand and still now it cannot launch debugger on WindowsApp3.exe... I never asked to debug, it should simply comüpile, link and execute...
I guess more paths twisted, more things not configured for a smoth initial experience :(
=> issue fixed but due to lack of docu I will switch IDE if i find one

I tried to reproduce with a fresh installation, and succeeded by just installing the "Core Editor" without any "workload". By adding a dependency to the Visual D extension the missing assembly is installed, too.
Visual D works in this environment to some extent, but only when using the DigitalMars tool chain, i.e. x86 with OMF. Other parts expect the VC components to be installed. I'll update the documentation accordingly.
