Hm, this actually is supposed to work. Could you please re-run this procedure with the original path and with maximum verbosity? I.e.: > runhaskell Setup configure -v3 In any case though, if you have problems with Cabal or cabal-install, send a bug report -- Windows might not be number one priority (since most of the developers don't use it (often)) don't expect us to fix bugs that we don't know about.
