The DMD installer works well, in particular, there is hard work involved in wrangling visual studio environment paths. LDC also depends on the VS ecosystem, but it's just a zip file... It would be great if the DMD installer could be rebranded to also work with LDC? I wonder if ldc2.conf should be auto-configured in the same way as sc.ini? Ideally, the installer, having noted where the user installed, would allow for VisualD to auto-magically find the user's LDC instance, and also 'just work' out of the box.

I've been working on making LDC portable and having it detect VS + set up environment variables for the MS linker/librarian, see LDC PRs #1129 and #1130. So an installer would only need to store the installation directory in the registry for IDE tools to find it.
