Let's go ahead and fixing issue #2 for 2.066. We will need to
produce another RC anyway: there are at least three other issues
that must be addressed and tested prior to the final release.<br>
<br>
As for issue #1, I have no problems creating the installers as
outlined below. I'll build and have them uploaded when I prepare
RC2. My problem will stem from knowing when to build D1 in the
future because it never really crosses my mind as something that
needs to be done. But I'm sure Walter or someone else will alert me
when it's necessary to do so.<br>

<div>First issue:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>As part of the installer revamp I took out D1 and DMC and
made separate installer scripts for them which the revamped
installer will optionally download and install if the user
asks for them. This requires installers for D1 and DMC to be
built. It's as simple downloading the latest D1 and DMC zips,
extracting them, then running:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div> makensis /DEmbedD1Dir=<d1dir>
/DVersion1=<d1ver> d1-installer.nsi</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>and</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div> makensis /DEmbedDmcDir=<dmcdir>
/DVersionDmc=<dmcver> dmc-installer.nsi<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>And uploading the result to the DigitalMars FTP (at least)
and the D download site (ideally). The URLs the D2 installer
expects are shown here: <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/installer/blob/master/windows/d2-installer.nsi#L66">https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/installer/blob/master/windows/d2-installer.nsi#L66</a></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>This would only need to be done once and for every new
release of D1 and DMC (which are few and far between).</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I could do this for you and give you a link to download for
you to reupload but I think it's probably more appropriate to
have it generated by someone with more official standing. If
you'd rather I do it just let me know.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Second issue:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I removed the downloading of Curl from the installer with
the goal that we switch to just having it embedded with the
rest. The release builder script makes use of Nick's
localextras zip. If my understanding is correct we could just
add curl to that zip and it'd get included in the release.
It's up to you whether to fix this for 2.066 or to just
include it in 2.067. In the meantime, end users could just do
what they used to do to get curl: download and extract the
curl zip on the download page into the installation folder.</div>
