Snapshot 0.4.3 - Installer Testing

[Chris R. Miller]

I used a Nullsoft Scriptable Installer to create what I think is a 
better solution to the old question of how to install D.  It contains 
the exact same stuff as in the previous releases, but it's in a nice new 
install system that also allows for easy uninstallation, and it doesn't 
require you to edit your path by hand, either.

I've performed a lot of testing on it, which involved installing it at 
school.  Don't worry, the school machines have "Deep Freeze" on them, so 
their hard drive is wiped pristine when they reboot.  No lasting effects 
at all.

So it compiles and runs just fine at school on machines that are not 
exactly compile-worthy.  However, with such a complex application as a 
compiler, and with such a rudimentary job as I did with the installer, I 
think more testing is required.  If anyone has some spare time, the 
means, and the motivation to help, if you could try and test the new 
installer, I would really appreciate it!  It doesn't do anything 
terribly advanced.  It just copies the installation files like normal 
and then writes a few registry keys, and then it writes an uninstaller.

So if you're interested in getting your hands dirty, you can download 
this latest stage in the evolution of this goody bag right here:
