This beta again has this issue:
lld-link.exe: error: could not open msvcrt100.lib: no such file 
or directory
lld-link.exe: error: could not open OLDNAMES.lib: no such file or 
directory

(It is caused if you have a visual studio / build tools 
installation, then
lld gets confused).

It was already solved in the nightly build, I downloaded some 
days ago.

Kind regards
André

I think this happens because the Windows SDK is detected, but VC is not.
As the replacement import libraries for both are in the
dmd\windows\lib64\mingw folder, adding it to the library search path
would be causing some bad mixture of libraries.

VC is probably no longer detected because recent versions of the VS
installations do not write an expected registry key, but assume the COM
API to be used for detection (as added by
https://github.com/dlang/dmd/pull/9243).

So pedantically, this is not a regression in dmd, but a changed
environment. You should still be able to link when running the
vcvarsall.bat to setup the VS/VC environment variables.

In my case I want to use LLD for D. I had to install the Build 
Tools for Python Development and this broke D (2.084.0). The 
mentioned errors occurs.

Kind regards

Any chance of getting this in?
https://github.com/dlang/phobos/pull/6814

Phobos std.file has become unusable after 2.082 because of [1] 
leading to memory corruption. It's pretty bad: dmd 2.082 and 
2.083, and LDC 1.12 and 1.13 cannot be used for serious work 
(unless you prevent people from using std.file by deleting it?).

Cheers,
   Johan
