After re-examining your post, it seems you changed to the subdirectory
d:\gcc\bin to test the compiler immediately after you installed the binary.
Windows OS requires you logoff, and then login to make "new" environment
variables in effect. The compiler cannot work without proper environment
variables (Installer set the variables, but you need to login to make new
variables in effect).

If you try again, the compiler should work. It is not necessary to run the
compiler in the subdirectory d:\gcc\bin. You can run the compiler in any
subdirectory, for example, c:\temp.

Good luck.

1) I'm amazed that the CLC topicality police aren't all over this
thread. Come on, guys! Cat got (all of) your tongues???
2) (OT, duh...) What you say above isn't true. Depending on exactly how
"the installer" set the variables, at most, all you should need to do is
open up a new CMD shell window.
