Well that probably explains the problem then.

How exactly would it do that? I guess it could parse some output 
from dmd to check that it's looking in the right directories, 
that would be a nice enhancement.

I wouldn't want it to try and do much to fix the situation if it 
didn't work, that would be too intrusive.

How does it do that?

DVM seems useful if you really need multiple versions of DMD 
installed, but in general I don't like having a special installer 
tool for each piece of software, each with its own way of doing 
things.
