          Issue ID: 15119
           Summary: LDC version of installer
           Product: D
           Version: D2
          Hardware: x86_64
                OS: Windows
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P1
         Component: installer
          Assignee: nobody at puremagic.com
          Reporter: turkeyman at gmail.com

The DMD installer works well, in particular, there is hard work involved in
wrangling visual studio environment paths.

LDC also depends on the VS ecosystem, but it's just a zip file...

It would be great if the DMD installer could be rebranded to also work with
LDC?
I wonder if ldc2.conf should be auto-configured in the same way as sc.ini?

Ideally, the installer, having noted where the user installed, would allow for
VisualD to auto-magically find the user's LDC instance, and also 'just work'
out of the box.
