#320: cooperation with Windows Vista's User Access Control ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Reporter: Toxaris | Owner: Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Cabal library | Version: 1.4.0.1 Severity: normal | Resolution: Keywords: | Difficulty: normal Ghcversion: 6.8.2 | Platform: Windows ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Comment (by Toxaris): My ghcs are installed in c:\ghc. I don't think that their location is relevant to the issue at hand. I don't think that I set the path "c:\program files\Haskell" for cabal- installed stuff manually. I guess it is the default path. If cabal can not work together with the (maybe stupid) OS mechanisms to protect "c:\program files", it should avoid using this path by default. Of course, cabal should not display a UAC prompt unnecessarily. But displaying a UAC prompt '''when necessary''' is clearly superior to failing, and seems to be in the spirit of the UAC. -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/320#comment:4 Hackage http://haskell.org/cabal/ Hackage: Cabal and related projects
