I'm on a Win64 machine and compiling Win32 works fine. I'm using 
Visual Studio 17 Community with Visual D. DMD is up to date as is 
Visual D.

I added a x64 "solution platform" to the configuration manager 
which added a -m64 flag to my linker options. I'm not sure what 
else I'm meant to do to get it to compile as x64?

I'm not sure why its trying to use opt link for 64-bit, the linker banner gives a hint: OPTLINK (R) for _Win32_. 64 bit should use MS's linker, is -m64 only passed to the linker but not the compiler?

That usually happens if the DMD bin folder is searched first in the PATH variable (unfortunately the linker and other tools have the same name as the Microsoft programs). You should verify that the VC folder is listed first in Tools->Options->Projects and Solutions->Visual D Settings->DMD Directories->x64->Executable Paths, i.e. $(VCTOOLSINSTALLDIR)bin\HostX86\x86 should be listed before $(DMDInstallDir)windows\bin
