Hi

I have downloaded and installed DMD on a Windows 10 64-bit machine. When I try to build my app in Visual Studio - I am getting an error:

Error: cannot find source code for runtime library file 'object.d'
       dmd might not be correctly installed. Run 'dmd -man' for installation instructions.
       config file: C:\D\dmd2\windows\bin\sc.ini
Specify path to file 'object.d' with -I switch

Upon investigating it appears that the sc.ini file is not readable by the user.

If I log in as Administrator then the build works.

What am I doing wrong?

Regards

I used the Installer by the way.

Probably this:

I'm going to try to get around to fixing that and making an installer for LDC this weekend.

Reading more carefully it may not be the same bug.

I did not run the uninstaller - it was a first time install. So the problem appears to be in the installer.

I downloaded the compressed archive and extracted - this doesn't appear to have the problem.

It seems that the sc.ini is modified by the installer - and in doing so it loses the group "Users" assignment so that no one other than the administrator can access it.

I'm unable to reproduce this with the 2.069.2 installer. I completely removed my previous installation and installed from scratch. All of my projects compile fine. Are you using 2.069.2 or the beta?

I used 2.069.2.
Are you sure you are attempting to build from a non-administrative user? The issue log previously noted does show others are getting the same error.

We've got a wealth of fixes for this now (Rainer and I each independently made one).

https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/installer/pull/165
https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/installer/pull/166

Just need someone to review and pick one.
