Hi,

After a recent Windows update cycle the Visual D projects now fail to 
build - it can't find the D source files - the output from compiler is 
below.

This has occured on 2 PCs, one Vista and one Win7 straight after recent 
updates. Has this occured to anybody else and whats the fix for it?

Thanks.

I don't know what the error would have to do with Windows update, but it
