#11696: Windows Install Makes Unnecessary/Incorrect PATH Changes -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: AlexAndrews | Owner: Type: bug | Status: closed Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: None | Version: 7.10.3 Resolution: invalid | Keywords: path | environment variable install Operating System: Windows | Architecture: x86 Type of failure: Other | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: | Differential Rev(s): Wiki Page: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Changes (by gershomb): * status: upstream => closed * resolution: => invalid Comment: Closing this as invalid as it is an HP issue, which in general should be reported here: https://github.com/haskell/haskell-platform That said, these two directories are not places that the platform installer itself creates or installs things to. They are, however, the directories that cabal will create and install things to by default when you `cabal install` an executable , and thus the platform installer (correctly) adds them to your path as a convenience. We can document this behavior further, but I see no need to change it. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/11696#comment:2 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
