+Under Linux, Dscanner reads /etc/dmd.conf to get the default include paths. The equivalent file in Windows - 'sc.ini' - does not have a fixed location, so you need to configure the import paths manually. You need the \src\phobos and \src\druntime\import folders from where you installed dmd. For example,
 ```
 let g:dscanner_includePath=['C:\Program Files\dmd2\src\phobos','C:\Program Files\dmd2\src\druntime\import']
