I have just installed Visual Haskell as per the instructions at http://www.haskell.org/visualhaskell/. I do not see Visual Haskell among the supported languages on the splash screen. On the other hand, there is a "Haskell Projects" folder under the new projects that can be created and the Visual Haskell documentation is apparent under the documentation tree rooted at "Visual Haskell Help Collection". Finally, if I try to create either a console project or a library project, the respective pop-up error messages The application for project 'C:\Program Files\Visual Haskell\Templates\Projects\Console Application.cabal is not installed. Make sure the application for the project type (.cabal) is installed. The application for project 'C:\Program Files\Visual Haskell\Templates\Projects\Library Package.cabal is not installed. Make sure the application for the project type (.cabal) is installed. ensue. I gather from all of the above that the installation must be incomplete in some fashion. I should also point out 3 (possibly relevant) things about my environment: 1. I am running both Visual Studio 2005 and Visual Studio .Net 2003 (the academic version). 2. I do not have the Visual Studio .Net 2003 documentation installed. (I reinstalled VS .Net 2003 for the sole purpose of running Visual Haskell. So I deemed the documentation unnecessary. In this aspect the installation is incomplete.) 3. I am running standalone versions of both GHC 6.4 and 6.5. Allen L.

Yes, it looks like the files are installed, but the DLLs aren't properly registered. This might be something to do with having both VS 2003 and 2005 installed. I've CC'd Krasimir Angelov who built the installer, hopefully he'll have some insights. We have a fair amount of demand for Visual Haskell, but that isn't matched by the amount of developer hours available to work on it, I'm afraid. We very much hope to put out an updated release that works with VS 2005 at some point, but I can't give a firm guarantee for when that will be. Cheers, Simon
