Following the "snapshot distribution" link on GHC's download page yields this

That seems to be a tar bundle for Windows; it's not an msi but if you unpack it you should be able to run it just fine.

Subject: recent Windows installer for ghc head?

 

I'd like to try out the new & improved combination of type classes and GADTs, which I understand is only in head.  Is there a recent working windows installer for head?

Thanks,  - Conal
