Normally, it shouldn't be necessary. The splitting of the
datetime package[1] had this effect but I'm not sure why the
installation process can't take care of it.

It _should_ take care of it. The fact that multiple people have
run into this problem and that the solution was to remove dmd
and then reinstall it implies that there's a bug in the
installer.

I do not use the installer, I use the zip file. I assumed that
everything would be overwritten and any old stuff would simply go
unused.. but it seems it doesn't. If the other person used the
installer then it is a problem with dmd itself not designed
properly and using files that it shouldn't. I simply unzip the
zip file in to the dmd2 dir and replace sc.ini... that has been
my MO for since I've been trying out dmd2 and only recently has
it had a problem.
