See https://github.com/ldc-developers/ldc/issues/1754. I
personally never download the DMD installers, only the .7z. I
also don't use a global PATH set up to point to a particular
LDC installation. I expect the vast majority of Windows *devs*
to prefer a simple download&unpack over some installer. Those
wanting to click through setup steps can use the VisualD
installer with bundled LDC.
Supposing I'm new to D, I have previous experience with
LLVM-based compilers so I prefer to use LDC. How am I supposed to
know what to do? Where is the information on how to get it on my
system through visualD installer?
The LDC experience needs some improvement here.
