Copied here for extra visibility...

Hi.

There seems to be an install problem with the .exe version for
Windows. The installer removes the old DMD then doesn't install
the 2.069.0 version. In the task manager it's still running at
50% CPU time. It fails on Windows Vista and Windows 7.

Regards,
-<mike>-

I have the same issue on Windows 7 32-bit.
The infinite loop occurs in the function at 0x00401389
Running dmd-2_069_0.exe (CRC: 91079f56)

Could some try and verify that this installer fixes the issue. I wasn't able to reproduce the issue myself. https://dlang.dawg.eu/downloads/dmd.2.069.0~fix15824/

Hi Martin,

I've tried the new install with Windows Vista and Windows 7 and the problem is the same as before.

Can you try again, I updated the installer and tried to revert the other part of the change (though I don't see why that would fix the problem). More details would help a lot at this point, e.g. what windows are open (also look whether the uninstaller hides any window) and what files are left in the install dir (C:\D by default) while the installation hangs.

And let's please continue this in Bugzilla. https://issues.dlang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15284

with the last 2 lines repeating...

The x64 sub-directory does not exist on my system.

Hope this helps.
