#11696: Windows Install Makes Unnecessary/Incorrect PATH Changes -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: AlexAndrews | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Package | Version: 7.10.3 system | Keywords: path | Operating System: Windows environment variable install | Architecture: x86 | Type of failure: Other Test Case: | Blocked By: Blocking: | Related Tickets: Differential Rev(s): | Wiki Page: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- I installed haskell 7.10.3 (32-bit) under Windows XP SP3 into a folder on my L: drive. However, the installation process added a number of non- existent directories to my PATH variables: User environment variable PATH: C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\cabal\bin System environment variable PATH: C:\Program Files\Haskell\bin If these directories need to be in the PATH variables, they should be created by the installer and, if so, since I installed haskell to my L: drive, surely these should be created on my L: drive (or the user should be prompted for their location)? -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/11696 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
