I'm trying to create a win32 window. I coped the code pretty much 
directly from msdn:

	MSG msg;
		BOOL bRet;
		WNDCLASS wc;

		// Register the window class for the main window.

		if (!hPrevInstance)
		{
			wc.style = 0;
			wc.lpfnWndProc = cast(WNDPROC)&WndProc;
			wc.cbClsExtra = 0;
			wc.cbWndExtra = 0;
			wc.hInstance = hInstance;
			//wc.hIcon = LoadIcon(cast(HINSTANCE) NULL, IDI_APPLICATION);
			//wc.hCursor = LoadCursor(cast(HINSTANCE) NULL, IDC_ARROW);
			wc.hIcon = NULL;
			wc.hCursor = NULL;
			wc.hbrBackground = GetStockObject(WHITE_BRUSH);
			wc.lpszMenuName =  "MainMenu";
			wc.lpszClassName = "MainWndClass";

			if (!RegisterClass(&wc))
				return FALSE;
		}

		// Create the main window.
		hwndMain = CreateWindow("MainWndClass", "Sample",
								WS_OVERLAPPEDWINDOW, CW_USEDEFAULT, CW_USEDEFAULT,
								CW_USEDEFAULT, CW_USEDEFAULT, cast(HWND) NULL,
								cast(HMENU) NULL, hInstance, cast(LPVOID) NULL);
		if (!hwndMain)
		{
			auto x = GetLastError();
			return FALSE;
		}


x is 1812 = ERROR_RESOURCE_DATA_NOT_FOUND

That's about as far as I can get. (what resource data? Where I do 
put it? How, who, when?)

Check this file

,it's distributed with your D setup.

Resource data in Windows is data compiled into your exe. It is 
stuff like icons, menus, or other arbitrary stuff you attach.

However, the code you posted doesn't access any of that so it 
shouldn't be an issue here... what import did you use to access 
the windows api? `import core.sys.windows.windows;` or something 
else? Also, are you building 32 bit (the default) or 64 bit?

32-bit and I'm using the latest win32 wrappers distributed on 
github from someone. (suppose to be more complete than 
core.sys.windows)

Obviously the issue is that I'm not using any resources yet it is 
giving me such an error. (again, I pretty much copied the code 
directly from MSDN)

You do. See docs for lpszMenuName field. GUI projects generated 
by Visual Studio include resource generation, that's why it works 
for them.

Thanks!

So how does one actually include resources such as menu's (rc 
files and all that) in a D project? Or am I stuff creating all 
that stuff programmatically?

Just like in a C project: write, compile and link them.
