(as there are files in lib64 I thought > it was ready) 32 bit is OK. If you are installing from the zip file, you need to have VCINSTALLDIR and WindowsSdkDir environment variables set. These are set if you open the console window for the Visual Studio version you want to use. These settings were hardcoded in sc.ini to the default installation path of VS2010 in previous dmd releases, but stripping the drive name. The windows installer will patch sc.ini to contain the paths of the most recent versions of VC and the Windows SDK. Walter, can you also add the Windows installer to the RC?

Personally I don't think it takes up so much time to setup, especially not for D development.

Yeah, that would be nice. -- /Jacob Carlborg

The libraries were not built correctly (my old machine runs out of memory building them). FreeBSD users have needed to, for some time now, fork/build to get it.

Heck, I had spent considerable time just trying to figure out *which* virtual box to install. Each option came with a long list of caveats and things that didn't work. Some would work with one OS, some with another, the one I did download would kinda sorta work with NetBSD, but not really, etc. Then, of course, was having it all wiped out by upgrading Ubuntu.

It's not impossible to do. There's just a significant time sink involved in figuring out which one to get, getting it installed, getting it working, and keeping it working. It's actually easier to just buy another machine.

Ah, I see. I'd overlooked that one. I thought Rainer meant he wanted me to cherry-pick some installer pull into 2.064.
