Trying to set up an IDE on Windows 7 with code completion but my 
issues keep coming back to DCD. The tests failed the one time I 
could get the tests to go beyond it waiting for another instance 
of DCD to close. The path is added to my PATH variable, I've 
rebuilt it from source with the .bat file to install it on 
Windows and rebuilt it with dub as per the github instructions... 
I even changed one of its source files to import winsock2 instead 
of winsock because the build output kept warning me about a 
depreciation... probably made it worse as I've now got prompts 
telling me about Socket OS Exceptions.

Anyone got a clue what I could be doing wrong and how I can fix 
it?

I compiled it with dub and started using it with VS Code just 
fine. Now and again a Socket exception pops up, but it works. You 
say you're running the tests? That means you compiled it, right?

dub build --build=release

You might want to add -ax86_64 to that as well if you are running 
64-bit Windows.
