This windiows installer went wrong on me.
First, it tried to uninstall, it offered to uninstall from 'C:\D'. My DMD
install is 'C:\dev\D'... The path was presented in a greyed out textbox that I
couldn't type in to correct it, and no button to select the true install location.
The uninstall step failed.

Then when reinstalling I was given the option where to install, I chose
'C:\dev\D' and it installed over the top of my existing install, and wiped my
sc.ini file. So I need to configure the DirectX SDK paths again.

Please file these on bugzilla as 2 bug reports.

Yup, there's already been listings and related discussions.


As an aside, one thing I find difficult to understand is why experienced C++ developers find it so hard to set an environment variable (or one in the sc.ini) pointing to where the right .h files are and the right .lib files are.

There is %DXSDK_DIR%, which is fine to use.
I've been discussing it with Brad on the bug tracker.
