We have been labouring over the last few weeks to get a GHC that runs on Windows and does not require you to install anything else does not intefere with anything else you already have installed (notably cygwin) It was a big surprise to me how hard it is to achieve these two objectives simultaneously on a Windows machine. We are now (very) nearly there, after many exciting learning experiences. We're going to put out a thrill-seekers Win2k release of GHC 5 with the above properties. "Thrill-seekers" because it'll be the head of the tree and hence incorporate various things that 5.00.2 doesn't have but which are slightly less stable. So I think the simplest thing is to wait a week or two. If you are in a hurry, install GHC4.08.2, and cygwin, check out the HEAD, and say 'make'. (Works for me...)
