Bug 17361 – latest windows 10 insider preview and dmd no longer runs.

I just installed the latest Insider Preview of Windows 10 and DMD no longer runs at all. It just comes up and sits there in a window. I have tried reinstalling it several times. The installer runs fine. Several Times. :):) This is my current path PATH=C:\D\dmd2\windows\bin C:\ProgramData\Oracle\Java\javapath c:\oracle\product\12.2.0\dbhome_64\bin C:\Program Files (x86)\Intel\iCLS Client\ C:\Program Files\Intel\iCLS Client\ C:\WINDOWS\system32 C:\WINDOWS C:\WINDOWS\System32\Wbem C:\WINDOWS\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\ C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\8.1\Windows Performance Toolkit\ C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\120\Tools\Binn\ C:\Program Files\uncrustify C:\Program Files (x86)\QuickTime\QTSystem\ C:\Program Files (x86)\NVIDIA Corporation\PhysX\Common C:\WINDOWS\system32 C:\WINDOWS C:\WINDOWS\System32\Wbem C:\WINDOWS\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\ C:\Program Files (x86)\Intel\Intel(R) Management Engine Components\DAL C:\Program Files\Intel\Intel(R) Management Engine Components\DAL C:\Program Files (x86)\Intel\Intel(R) Management Engine Components\IPT C:\Program Files\Intel\Intel(R) Management Engine Components\IPT C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\Windows Performance Toolkit\ C:\Program Files\IDM Computer Solutions\UltraEdit C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\110\Tools\Binn\ C:\Program Files (x86)\nodejs\ C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Web Platform Installer\ C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Emulator Manager\1.0\ C:\Program Files\TortoiseSVN\bin C:\Program Files\IDM Computer Solutions\UltraCompare C:\Users\steven\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WindowsApps C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\TypeScript\1.0\ C:\Program Files (x86)\dub C:\Program Files (x86)\Skype\Phone\ C:\D\dmd2\windows\bin I have tried putting the dmd path in front and everywhere in between. dub and dmd do not run in the c:\d\dmd2\windows\bin directory

I have noticed that the replace.exe is also a windows command. They do not behave the same. I can try anything anybody suggests to help solve the mystery. This does Include removing WinDoze. :):):) Thanks, Steven

What is the exact version of the build? I'm also using the Insider Preview of Windows 10 (though I am on the slow update ring) and (at least) on version 1703, build 15063.138 I have no trouble running DMD. Also, can you check if Windows Defender isn't mistaking the compiler for a virus (e.g. by white-listing it or temporary disabling the protection)? There have been some reports about certain anti-virus/malware programs wrongly detecting dmd as such, though I don't think Windows Defender has been mentioned before. Finally, can you give some more information on how are you running dmd? Command Prompt, PowerShell, Windows Subsystem for Linux (bash.exe), MinGW or some IDE? Is there some error message or backtrace that gets printed? Also does dub run ok? (You can testing by fetching a package - e.g. 'dub fetch dscanner'.)

1703, build 16184.101. I sent Microsoft a note asking to figure it out.

just updated to another level of Windows Insider and still DMD does not run. I send to Microsoft.

The latest build and like magic DMD is running again! Version 1703 OS BUILD 16193.1001 A few other programs that stopped are working again also. Thanks, Steven

Good to know you got it to work. Closing, then.
