I just avoid changing anything in the dmd dir on the first install and 
then rename & replace it with the new one. You might need to copy the 
old .ini file though.

Tango 0.99.5 isn't compatible with newer than 1.027, could that be the 
problem?

Hey Mike James,
As for Dinstaller, I am the developer of it and it won't update to the latest
compiler version until tango updates to the latest compiler version(Tango
Stable). Also I am working on something for Tango so I may not be able to do so
right away. I plan on making a new system that uses a file it downloads at
runtime to ask you which file you would like to download. The file that it
finaly downloads will contain all option information and as such you could
create your own option list file for it that would support things like that.
This will not be implemented until I finish the thing I'm working on for Tango
and as so it will just be a hard coded update version.

Thanks, I will wait for the next update of DInstall - keep up the good work :-)

It could be - the Tango I'm using is version 0.99.5 - I think I will wait until
the next 'group' release of Tango and DMD.

Regarding Tango, if a compiler release includes new functions in the runtime,
then Tango must be
updated to include them before a Tango app will work with that version of the
compiler.  This is
generally a pretty quick process on my part, but it requires my being at home
and in front of the
computer to accomplish, which means not until this evening PST at the earliest.

Yes, but in this case (1.029 from 1.028) there is no problem. There was a
problem with Tango 0.99.5 and DMD 1.028 and above as DMD got stricter on a
couple of points.

Oh right.  And for what it's worth, there are no library changes between 
1.028 and 1.029 that should matter.

I think the problem is the OP just overwrote his Tango-fied sc.ini with 
the stock DMD one.

After I unzip a new dmd version over top the old one, I run my 
"usetango.bat" script which looks like this these days:

----
 ECHO OFF
echo Setting up DMD environment for using Tango runtime libraries...
copy "%DMDDIR%\dmd\bin\sc.tango.ini" "%DMDDIR%\dmd\bin\sc.ini"
copy "%DMDDIR%\dsss\etc\rebuild\default.tango" 
"%DMDDIR%\dsss\etc\rebuild\default"
ren "%DMDDIR%\dsss\include\d\std_tango_" std
ren "%DMDDIR%\dsss\lib" libphobos
ren "%DMDDIR%\dsss\libtango" lib
echo Done.
----


Note that I keep a copy of the tango version sc.ini in sc.tango.ini.


And here's the corresponding usephobos.bat too:
----
 ECHO OFF
echo Setting up DMD environment for using Phobos runtime libraries...
copy "%DMDDIR%\dmd\bin\sc.phobos.ini" "%DMDDIR%\dmd\bin\sc.ini"
copy "%DMDDIR%\dsss\etc\rebuild\default.phobos" 
"%DMDDIR%\dsss\etc\rebuild\default"
ren "%DMDDIR%\dsss\include\d\std" std_tango_
ren "%DMDDIR%\dsss\lib" libtango
ren "%DMDDIR%\dsss\libphobos" lib
echo Done.
----

I also keep a copy of the default phobos sc.ini in sc.phobos.ini.


The only problem is if DMD changes what it puts in sc.ini.  But I don't 
think that's happened in a long time.
