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.

You should use the template on that page, but beware that exceptionHandler should take a Throwable, not an Exception, like the example says.

Andrej Mitrovic <andrej.mitrovich gmail.com> 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.
