In this case I suspect you've set up the buildbot on a completely new Windows install. In which case you're probably missing the proper Microsoft C Runtime. (Windows update would eventually get to this).
Indeed you are right, this is a clean installation. Unfortunately the problem seems to persist after installing the VC2008 runtime (both 32- and 64-bit for good measure). Moreover, there is no sign of any relevant events in Event Viewer. Sadly my usual `strace` approach seems powerless on Windows: I can see an `open` system call for `ctypes/__init__.py` but nothing else interesting. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/12661#comment:2 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
