Re: [Haskell-cafe] any idea why cabal install cabal-install cant update itself in windows?

Windows will not let you modify/delete binaries if they're running as a process, and it won't let you delete .DLL files that're in use by applications either (mapped to shared memory, that is.) So cabal install cannot overwrite the cabal.exe binary after it builds it, because it's already running.
