Something seems to be wrong with the 2.090.0 Windows installer.
After successfully installing, it proceeds to delete every file
it has just added.
Looking closely at how it happens, it seems that it might
actually be caused by the uninstaller deleting itself and the
directory it's in. If I wait long after the previous version has
been uninstalled before clicking 'next', it doesn't happen.
So, how to reproduce:
1) have a previous DMD version installed
2) start the 2.090.0 installer
3) answer yes to uninstalling the previous version
4) quickly finish installing 2.090.0
If you do this with the install folder open in an explorer
window, you should see the files disappearing during the
uninstall of the previous version, until the only item in the D
folder is uninstall.exe. As the new install proceeds more files
and folders will be added, and finally they will all be deleted
again, sometimes leaving an empty folders, other times a partial
installation (I've only once managed to get a partial
installation).
