Thanks. There's a point where it checks the registry to see if DMD already 
exists in the system PATH (and will prompt the user for further action if 
it's there, because it would get in the way of DVM's "default compiler" 
feature). Turns out I forgot to use read-only access (instead of read/write) 
to open the key for that check.

Yea, clearly I should have done that ;)

Turns out the problem occurs when trying to install DVM on any limited 
Windows user account, regardless of an existing DVM or DMD, and regardless 
of XP/Win7 or 32bit/64bit. Pretty bad since DVM currently only installs 
per-user. /facepalm

I've fixed it and submitted a pull request (and this time I tested it with 
limited user accounts on both XP and Vista):
