Problem getting haskell-mode working with emacs on windows

Hello, Environment: Win7 32bit, Emacs 24.5.1, ghci 7.8.3 I have had Haskell working with Windows 7 and emacs previously, but have had issues, and am attempting to get everything working again. Problems. I searched for "Install Haskell Emacs", and found a link to the page https://wiki.haskell.org/Emacs/Installing_haskell-mode But this page was blanked on 11 April 2016, with no information as to where to go. I looked at the previous version of the page, and it said to "place the basic mode haskell-mode.el and the modules you want to use in [a suitable directory, I used "~/haskell-extensions"], add the following command to your init file (~/.emacs): (load "~/lib/emacs/haskell-site-file")" I did the above (but just with haskell-mode.el) and launched emacs, and got a message: "File error: Cannot open load file, no such file or directory, ~/haskell-extensions/haskell-site-file" in emacs, as an experiment, I did M-x Load file: C:\home/haskell-extensions/haskell-mode.el And got the message "Cannot open load file: no such file or directory, haskell-customize" I downloaded haskell-customize.el and placed it in ~/haskell-extensions, and tried again, but no joy. Questions: 0. Is haskell-mode depracated? It no longer seems to be available at MELPA. 1. Why was the page "https://wiki.haskell.org/Emacs/Installing_haskell-mode" blanked? 2. Is a similar, current set of instructions available? 3. Should I be able to load haskell-mode using M-x load-file? If so, what other .el (or other) files are required, and where should they be placed? 4. Is there a dissimilar set of instructions available? Any help will win thousands in prizes.
