          Issue ID: 23623
           Summary: On 64 bit Windows the path should point to 64 bit dmd.
           Product: D
           Version: D2
          Hardware: All
               URL: http://dlang.org/
                OS: Windows
            Status: NEW
          Severity: minor
          Priority: P3
         Component: installer
          Assignee: nobody at puremagic.com
          Reporter: Bastiaan at Veelo.net

The NSIS installer for windows has the option "Add to PATH".

When this option is ticked, the system path is modified to include
"C:\D\dmd2\windows\bin", which is correct on 32 bit Windows. On 64 bit Windows,
"C:\D\dmd2\windows\bin64" is preferred.

The installer should detect the version of Windows and set the path
accordingly.

Grep for "Target was appended to PATH", which is displayed at the end of the
installation.
