--- Comment #2 from Ivan Kazmenko <gassa@mail.ru> ---
Can't reproduce it here with a fresh install (Windows 2008 R2).
The baddest thing I got is:

-----
0. The system is clean from any D-via-installers (I myself use zip archives).

1. Run dmd-2.067.0.exe and follow the defaults.

2. Run dmd-2.069.0.exe, it asks to uninstall and runs the process uninstall.exe.

3. Follow the defaults, it asks for recursive deletion (of the default path
C:\D\dmd2).

4. After clicking Finish, the 2.069.0 installer resumes, BUT there is a new Au_.exe process (locally from C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Temp\1\~nsu.tmp\) which AGAIN asks for recursive deletion of the default path.  Whatever I choose (OK or Cancel or just ignore the Au_.exe window), the installer is able to proceed normally.
-----

If I replace dmd-2.067.0.exe with dmd-2.068.1.exe or dmd-2.068.2.exe on step 1, there is no such effect.

Perhaps there exists a version to use on Step 1 which would help reproduce a more severe problem?  Can't try all of them right now.

Windows 8.1 Enterprise x64. I have attached the call stack obtained (while the installer was hanging) with Process Explorer. --

When the installer was hanging the C:\D\dmd2 folder was already deleted. (I also have dub installation there under C:\D\dub which was unchanged. I don't think there's a problem with it, because I haven't had such issues with any of the previous releases.) --

https://issues.dlang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15284 --- Comment #8 from ZombineDev <petar.p.kirov@gmail.com> --- I killed the hanging installer, downloaded DMD-2.0.68.0 and installed it successfully (it didn't detect any previous installation of DMD). Then I ran dmd-2.069.0.exe, it reported that there was an old version and I chose to uninstall it. The installer hang just after I clicked the Finish button on the uninstaller which had completed its work. --
