#12154: GHC 8.0.1 x64 Windows installer doesn't honor custom install location -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: scs | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Package | Version: 8.0.1 system | Keywords: | Operating System: Windows Architecture: x86_64 | Type of failure: Installing GHC (amd64) | failed Test Case: | Blocked By: Blocking: | Related Tickets: Differential Rev(s): | Wiki Page: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- The GHC Windows installer has (thankfully!) the option for a preferred custom install location, in my case 'c:\devel\Haskell\8' (beside 'c:\devel\Haskell\WinHugs' etc.) However, it obstinately installs into 'c:\Program Files\Haskell Platform\yada yada...' The _uninstaller_ operates with the custom location, and the uninstallation therefore fails. Potential triggers: disallowing the installer to muck with the environment path and registry (I set these myself, thank you very much). Workaround: GHC is thankfully still self contained, and moving the installation to the preferred location suffices. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/12154 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
