Eclipse compile issue

Hello, I am trying to set up eclipse and am having an issue I can't seem to find an answer to. I have followed all the steps in the tutorials on this site:
http://d.whosme.de/index.php?language=en&site=tutorials

But, when I attempt to compile the Console output window spits:
Could not detect versions.

Using eclipse 3.3.1 and dsss 0.75...

My project fold, eclipse folder, dsss folder and ddgb folder are all in the c:\d folder... Can anyone help me out?

Saw a post that said to do something with user variables in the advance tab of system and add PATH C:\d\dsss-0.75-dmd-win\bin to user variable list but still have same problem...

Do you have the bin directory of DMD or GDC in your Windows PATH? The "Could not detect versions" message is produced by dsss if it can't find the DMD compiler.

Ok, got all that solved and eclipse compiles the exe, but it doesn't print the Hello World statement to the eclipse console output tab. I just get this:

C:\d\dmd\bin\..\..\dm\bin\link.exe .\_main+.\nmd_gcstats,main.exe,,user32+kernel32/noi;

The exe works fine if i run it from the console or double click it in the folder, but if i try to run it from within eclipse it says it isn't a valid win32 exe.

any ideas on this?

You need to do "Run -> Run as D application" on the executable, not on the D file. This will improve in future versions.
