Move your declaration of ShellExecuteW outside main, and it will work:


import std.c.windows.windows;

extern (Windows) HINSTANCE ShellExecuteW(HWND, LPCWSTR, LPCWSTR,
    LPCWSTR, LPCWSTR, INT);

int main(string[] args) {
    HINSTANCE i = ShellExecuteW(null, "open",
"http://www.example.com";, null, null, SW_SHOW);

    return 0;
}


This should work, though, so I'm filing a bug on it:
