Re: [Haskell-cafe] When did it become so hard to install Haskell onWindows?

For another data point, I just installed Java SE 14 on a Windows laptop. Bing search for Download JDK 14 for Windows, select page, clickety clickety, all pretty obvious, long wait, click Run, clickety clickety, done. I never had to leave Edge except to say yes to the installer. Someone who has never programmed in any language on any machine but can use a web browser can get started with their "Noob's Guide to Learning Java in 21 Days for Dummies Explained". The only real challenge was "Do I want Java SE or OpenJDK?" which required reading the part where it said Java SE is still free for personal use. The first and most obvious way to install Haskell on Windows ought to be one that someone with no previous knowledge of Windows programming can install just like other programming language kits.

Thanks; I didn't see any binary labelled Windows there.
