Why do I get the message: setup-Simple-Cabal-1.22.5.0-x86_64-windows-ghc-7.10.3.exe: : does not exist after command "cabal install", and what can I do about it ?

It was the .cabal file that caused the problem; after changing the line: license-file: "" to license-file: "LICENSE" the package compiled properly.

Ha, what an incredibly correct yet unhelpful error message! Nice debugging.
