Can you download and extract https://1drv.ms/u/s!AuQz_u- 9HaJPmcQRFveWa9dMBi77hg Then download http://www.rohitab.com/download/api-monitor- v2r13-x86-x64.zip run the api monitor (64 bit) and click the `monitor new process` button, in the dialog for `Process` enter the path to the `GHCi.exe` in the GHC you downloaded above, and press `OK`. it should list 4 exe in the `monitored processes`, click on them each one at a time, and each time go to `File` -> `Save As`, and save the result. Attach the 4 captures here and I'll take a look. Thanks. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/14398#comment:1 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler

Could you try again, but this time before you start capturing go to `Filter` -> `Load` and select the xml file in the zip file I attached here. This should enable the right APIs to monitor. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/14398#comment:6 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler

This will be a very late reply to this thread, however, I encountered the exact same internal error issue. I run Windows 10 64-bit with Japanese as the OS language. After troubleshooting, and ruling out the similar #15021 chcp ticket, upgrading from 8.2 to 8.4 did do the job and resolved the error. As I noticed the error hasn't been closed yet and it's exact origin not quite yet discovered, I thought I'd give some extra information. Certain Japanese fonts map the ¥ sign to the \ , causing paths to take the visual form of C:¥Users¥User etc. This is most often merely visual, however, can cause problems within certain programs. Furthermore, OS specific directories might be in Japanese (user = ユーザー ), however, this should once again be merely a visual change. As the original poster was running a Chinese system, I suspect the error is caused by either of the above, or similar, effects. Thanks for the suggestion of upgrading and if there's still an interest in the bug I hope a second error report might elucidate the problem a bit.
