I don't have this problem - installed without any problems.

I updated http://ftp.digitalmars.com/LATEST now and added that step to http://wiki.dlang.org/DMD_Release_Building.

It's likely related to this fix which now let's the installer wait on
the uninstaller to finish.

Did anything go wrong with the uninstall?

Great stuff! Thanks.

In my (very) limited trial run - I don't notice much of a performance difference.

Is there any numbers to compare 2069 with 2068 (and maybe even older)?

Same question I did some time ago:
is those binaries compiled with 2.068 or 2.069 itself?

The second choice should be the right one.
