I found a bit of an odd problem.

In my configuration, which I haven't modified, the installed copy of cabal appears in the path earlier than the directory into which executables built by cabal are installed, meaning that when cabal installs a new version of itself, that version is not used by default.

That doesn't seem right.

The installed location of cabal: C:\Program Files (x86)\Haskell Platform\2013.2.0.0\lib\extralibs\bin

Where cabal puts executables: C:\Users\Johan\AppData\Roaming\cabal\bin

I can work around it, sure, but is this a deliberate choice or a blindspot in the installer?

Better to install it to a different folder than Program Files since Windows has special protections on that folder and many others. :)

I am currently running an old installation of the Haskell environment from 2012, and I would like to upgrade. Can I just grab the installer from https://www.haskell.org/platform/windows.html and run it?

This is on Windows.
