The newer versions of dmd no longer comes with the make.exe file, which causes the Visual studio solution file for Phobos using dlangVS project to fail. I don't know what the solution for this should be. Should the .win64 file be modified to use a different make.exe from another folder or modify the visual studio solution to use its own make?

I don't know why make.exe was removed, but it is critical for building the Windows druntime and phobos. It used to be in windows\bin\, and ut's the one from http://downloads.dlang.org/other/dm857c.zip, as used by CI, so from August 19th 2012 (edit: 49,692 bytes).
