Fails to install on Windows (OutOfMemoryError).

[rjframe]

When I run the install on Windows 10 after downloading, I get an OutOfMemoryError. Memory is not a problem. DVM has not been previously installed.

The path is modified so I can type "dmd" and use tab completion to select the compiler I want without dvm, but using dub requires specifying the version (e.g., "dub --compiler=dub.2.072.0.bat").

Hmm, I've not been able to reproduce this issue. But I should add that I've not tested DVM in Power Shell until now. I noticed that in the use command doesn't work in Power Shell.

I still get the out of memory error when installing, but it does work properly with cmd.

[rjframe]

Adding a "dmd.bat" in the bin directory containing dvm-current-dc.bat %* solves the problem with Powershell (dvm use will work). It doesn't seem to break anything with cmd but I've only run dub on a couple of projects to test.

[jacob-carlborg]

What does dmd.bat contain?

[jacob-carlborg]

The intention of DVM is that the dmd command should point to the actual executable and not a wrapper.
