Hello,

  I have installed ghc-6.4.2 on a windows XP machine. However, the machine refuses to execute ghc-pkg (thus preventing me from using Cabal) and complains that "C:\ghc\ghc-6.4.2\bin\ghc-pkg.exe is not a valid Win32 application."  Is there something obvious I might have overlooked while installing?

Also, I am new to using ghc on windows and was wondering what are the trade-offs of using cygwin or minsys versus just living in a emacs shell?

thanks,
  Jeff
