[Haskell-beginners] Re: Advice on what to install

I noticed the availability of Haskell Platform 2009.2.0.2 and did install this and when I run GHCi it says that its version is 6.10.4. Now on the GHC site I notice that the current version is 6.12. Should I have installed this more recent version or stick with what I have? Warning: many more dumb questions to come from this guy.

Stick with the Haskell Platform. But if you don't and you actually manage to get not only GHC, but also cabal-install (including all prerequisites) running on Windows without much prior knowledge, make sure to write it up and tell me how to do it. Thomas
