I'm still having challenges to get a Haskell GUI to work under Windows 7

I'm still having challenges to get a Haskell GUI to work under Windows 7; even after various instructions on the web. e.g. Haskell Platform 2010.2.0.0, wxWidgets-2.9.1, wxHaskell 0.12.1.6 Similar challenges with GTK+ and gtk2hs.

I have seen wxHaskell work on WIndows 7, using the same configuration that works for me on Win XP and Vista (small test program) namely GHC 6.10.4 wxHaskell 0.11.1.2 - uses wxWidgets-2.8.something Installed from binaries. To distribute a useable binary you send around a .exe plus the wxhaskell dll. See http://www.scss.tcd.ie/Andrew.Butterfield/Saoithin/#bin I hope to try this program out on Win 7 later today - I'll let you know how I got on... So unless you really need all the extra goodies of platform 2010, the current fix is to work back to ghc 6.10.4

The windows binaries built using GHC 10.6.4 and wxHaskell 0.11.1.2 on either Win XP or Win 7 work on WIn 7 just fine, except for the font dialog box, which does nothing. This dialog box was a bit flaky on WInXP in any case. I installed 10.6.4 above on WIndows 7 using the binary installer, even though the web-page did not mention WIndows 7 - it seems to work just fine. On 8 Oct 2010, at 09:07, Andrew Butterfield wrote:
