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

Hi Conal,
Unfortunately the Windows installer code is not publically available,
so nightly Windows builds don't include the installer.
Thanks
Neil

if you are talking about the good old-fashioned snapshots, there shouldn't be any configuration or install, just untar where you need it? claus

I untar'd the 20070404 head and added its bin/i386-unknown-cygwin32 to my PATH. When I run ghci, I get : Can't find package.conf as
c:\ghc\GHC-67~2.200\bin\I386\driver\package.conf.inplace
Suggestions? Thanks, - Conal
