I run Vista Business 32-bit on my desktop, and I installed Gtk2Hs using that LSystemSetup.exe installer. I don't have a link handy, I apologize. That's a handy way to install with a few clicks for non-programmers.
I had no idea people were using that just to install the Gtk+ dlls.
Then I have my users launch my app using a .bat file that adds Gtk2Hs to the path (this assumes they installed to the standard location, sadly) so they don't have to go fiddling with their PATH.
You can make it much easier for your users. The LSystemSetup.exe installer just unpacks http://haskell.org/gtk2hs/win32/gtk+-2.10.14-win32.zip along with a demo .exe in the bin dir. Because the .exe is in the same dir as the Gtk+ dlls there is no need to use a bat file or change the path. I used innosetup (which is Free Sofware, BSD style license). http://www.jrsoftware.org/isinfo.php It could hardly be easier. I half wrote a blog post on this some time ago. Clearly I should finish it off. Duncan
