hmm maybe a step forward...

running:

cabal install network --reinstall -v

the final output lines are in fact:

Registering network-2.4.0.1...
C:\ghc\ghc-7.6.1\bin\ghc-pkg.exe update - --global --user

this is using GHC 7.4.1 and using the cabal which came with the latest haskell platform. I wiped clean my $HOME/cabal and $HOME/ghc, $HOME being %AppData%.

In $HOME/cabal/config I set those options:
library-profiling: True
user-install: True

Any idea?
