I have both DMC and DMD installed on Z:.

I fixed this by changing sc.ini to explicitly point to the z:\dm\lib 
and z:\dmd\lib locations .

My point is this worked pre 1.018 and is broken in all versions 
thereafter.  I was just wondering what was changed, as something like 
this should work 'right out of the box'.

I have been using DMD/DMC quite a while and this has always just worked.
