It's supposed to work even if it says "This package is intended for Mac 
OS X Leopard (10.5) only.".

Hmm, can you check the Console and see if it says anything about the 
installation.

Instead of this installer I would recommend installing DMD using DVM:

"DVM allows you to easily download and install D compilers and manage 
different versions of the compilers."

It's also cross-platform.
