the output is enclosed. the problem seems to be temporary files. what would cause that (i've just emailed him to check that the TEMP directory exists)?
*** Literate pre-processor C:\GHC\GHC-6.2\unlit.exe -h Demo.lhs Demo.lhs C:\WINDOWS\TEMP\ghc-1160737.lpp

The "rawSystem" part is the function GHC uses to execute external programs, see System.Cmd.rawSystem. The error suggests that it can't find unlit.exe. At any rate, I would suggest finding and testing unlit to see if it works directly with the input that GHC provides it. If that works and GHC is capable of compiling the output you at least have a work-around, otherwise you know where the problem is or you're SOL ;) Suffice to say I have not had this problem using the GHC 6.2 binaries on Win2k so I can't recreate it.
