Download the dmc.zip package, too (http://digitalmars.com/d/download.html)

Hi pal,

 i also downloaded the dmc.zip. I extracted it and found link.exe there. I tried
to copy it on the dmd bin directory but i got a lots of error.

I'm not sure why it wouldn't work, but typically that stuff goes into dm/bin, while the D stuff goes into dmd/bin.  Maybe the errors you got were about copying over existing files?

you should extract whole dmc archive, also check dmd configuration.

The configuration is in dmd\bin\sc.ini.
There you can see it says:
    LINKCMD=%@P%\..\..\dm\bin\link.exe

Which means it expects link .exe to be in a dm\bin directory that's parallel to the dmd\bin directory.

So yeh, it ain't gonna work copying link.exe to the dmd\bin directory.
