digitalmars.D.learn - DMD 2.109.1 not detecting object

reply jmh530 <john.michael.hall gmail.com> writes:
It seems like dmd is in the path properly (version 2.109.1), but 
I'm getting an error about object not being found. I tried 
uninstalling and installing again.

Any idea what the issue is?

This machine is using Windows 10.

This is odd.

You shouldn't be getting this for a default install of dmd.

The import paths (``-I``) are not pointing at druntime inside of sc.ini 
config file.

I'm also having trouble using ImportC. More accurately, there are 
no error messages at all, no compilation results. Yes, I also use 
Windows 11. The problem does not exist in Linux. There are really 
a lot of problems with Windows OS. I couldn't figure it out and 
haven't shared it to this day...

It does require MSVC on Windows for ImportC, so for all I know right now 
that the problem could lie there, rather than us.

Is there any information I can provide that will help diagnose? 
Would the contents of sc.ini help?

A stock install of dmd should "just work".

But yes, that would help.

Looks like my sc.ini is the same as another machine where dmd 
seems to be working.

I think the issue might be that druntime didn't get installed 
(comparing the folders in C:\D\dmd2\src between the computer that 
works and the computer that doesn't).

I was able to fix it. I uninstalled it completely and then 
reinstalled with a fresh copy of the installer (as opposed to 
letting the installer uninstall first).
