Thank you for this information! I installed the platform on Windows XP
(32-bit), and I get the same result as you. The machine where I was having
the problems was a Windows 7 machine (64-bit), though I used the same
Haskell Platform installer on both.

Perhaps it's a Windows 7 issue, or a 32-bit vs. 64-bit issue. I'll try on a
different Windows 7 machine.

It's good to know that scripts are meant to be cross-platform on Linux and
Windows.
