Busy writing some clean abstractions to work with COM in D, rather than just writing this at a C/C++ level. But I will get back here when I have a result.

Got DMDscript macros working in Zeus (32bit)! Great!

Fantastic! I will enjoy getting to both of these tomorrow. Many thanks.

Thanks for that (may have replied to that in wrong thread).

OK, so I am going to write my own Windows Scripting Engine, which I see requires me to implement some of this:

Which of these does Zeus need me to implement ...

Great, thanks, I'll try that out.

See above, I edited my reply about getting DMDscript running with Zeus (32), and it not associating test.ds with dscript.dll but only with the currently active script module. I followed the instructions precisely.

I imagine that scriptWSH.dll should be the ...

Great news! I'll investigate this.

Thanks for all that! Very interesting, and now first on my list of priorities with Zeus.

I installed the 32-bit Zeus, and followed the DMDscript instructions where you indicated. https://www.zeusedit.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?p=744
The dscript.dll was successfully registered using regsvr32 dscript ...

I'm not going to mix in using bash; I mistakenly assumed that was something supplied with Zeus when I checked the box. DMDscript is just an implementation of JavaScript, so not relevant to D. That specific problem could be solved by a small program outside of Zeus but on PATH that takes a command ...

I usually write D on Linux. On Windows I've mostly used MSYS2 and mingw-64 with C or if I have to C++, but DMD is COFF and MSVC compatible. I don't much want to use e.g. VS which I actively dislike, and which I only do when I want to make something very small with the messy but effective C++/CLI ...

OK, got that, and thanks. Will try out tomorrow.
With DCD installed successfully, I'm going to put this off, as I have to uninstall DCD. I've saved these for when I work on serv-d once again soon.

That was all useful information. In fact I do have both WSL and MSYS2, but I agree it's best not to do that.

However my real problem is that the command dmd.exe -of=main.exe *.d does not expand *.d into all .d files in the workspace directory before invoking DMD, but rather passes the text *.d to ...

I'm running 64 bit Zeus.

Wondering if you think serve-d can be persuaded to work. The serve-d warning in the message above was telling.

Okay, did that, and it fixed the problem. Thank you. Explanation understood.

Hello,
I want rebuild all for a Workspace to be
dmd -of=main.exe *.d
where that puts all the D source files on the command line.
Checking "run in bash" in Workspace Options dialog leads to nothing happening at all when I rebuild all from Workspace > Build > Rebuild.
Seems like a bug.
So I need some ...
