maintest.def: EXETYPE NT SUBSYSTEM WINDOWS maintest.d: http://pastebin.com/3c4CKDG1 Compiled with DMD 2.050: dmd maintest.d maintest.def The output in the log file is "Lenght: 0". The static constructor is never called when using WinMain. But if I use a normal "void main()" function instead of WinMain, then the static constructor does get called. Here's a working example that tests a GUI dialogbox and outputs "Length: 4" in the log file: maintest.def: EXETYPE NT SUBSYSTEM WINDOWS maintest.d: http://pastebin.com/3UDKmxJ1 dmd maintest.d maintest.def This looks like a bug to me..

Looking at http://digitalmars.com/d/2.0/windows.html, it seems your template for WinMain is outdated. You should use the template on that page, but beware that exceptionHandler should take a Throwable, not an Exception, like the example says.

Make sure you use newest DMD, I think in 2.048 or 49 there was bug that module constructors were not called.

This means the windows sample code that comes with DMD in the samples folder has to be updated, that's where I took the template from. Thanks.
