 From the discussions, it seems you still don't see the value of 
an installer...backing it with the idea that LDC is for 
"developers". I'm a developer myself and I use installers all the 
time when on Windows...there are very few people I personally 
know who would go for an archive file to set it up themselves.

So not everyone is like you. The reason why I personally go for 
DMD over LDC is convenience (especially when introducing D to 
newbies)...even though LDC is more optimized for performance.

Unless what you guys are doing is an artificial barrier to get 
others to not use it.
