Bug 15314 – infinite loop during dmd-2.069.0.exe installation

Created attachment 1566 part of Process Monitor log When I run dmd-2.069.0.exe on windows 32 bit system the installation process gets stuck in a loop which looks like: query_registry=>create_folder=>fail=>repeat See attached dmd_installation_log_1.txt You can see that it queries some registry values and then tries to create these 2 folders: C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v8.1A\lib\winv6.3\um\x64 C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v8.0A\lib\winv6.3\um\x64 But I don't have this 'lib' ones: C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v8.{0,1}1A\lib Then when I create those directory trees, I get some further errors about querying some directories... The thing is that I don't have any sdk installed here, but those registry keys seem to be forgotten by the uninstaller or something, aswell as those empty directories... Furthermore when I delete the "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Microsoft SDKs" registry tree installer keeps querying it's children unsuccessfuly (it also queries "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows Kits\Installed Roots"), staying in the infinite loop again.
