You can try to setup it manually using the following commands: $ regsvr32 /i:8.0 /n vs_haskell.dll $ regsvr32 /i:8.0 /n vs_haskell_babel.dll $ regsvr32 /i:8.0 /n vs_haskell_dlg.dll $ devenv.exe /Setup On 11/30/06, Krasimir Angelov wrote:

Hi Shelarcy,

Could you check whether you have this registry key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\VisualStudio\8.0\InstallDir

and tell me its value? Typically its value should be such that the following script to work.

Set shell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell") vstudioPath = shell.RegRead ("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\VisualStudio\8.0\InstallDir") shell.Run ("""" & vstudioPath & "devenv.exe"" /Setup",0,true)

Cheers, Krasimir

But ... I can't install Visual Haskell prerelease 0.2. Near the end of install process, Microsoft Development Environment cause error.

It's not good error message. Anyway, I translate it.

Near the end of install process, error dialog opened and says:

--- The problem happende, so exit Microsoft Development Environment. I'm sorry for causing inconvenience to you.

(under its message, error dialog has form that send error report for Microsoft or shows error detail. These messages are not important, so I don't translate that.) ---

And click form that shows error detail, another dialog opened. It shows:

--- :Error ditail: An unhandled exception has been caught by the VSW exception filter. :Error Signature: AppName: devenv.exe AppVer: 7.10.6030.0 ModName: unknown ModVer: 0.0.0.0 Offset: 00bbbacc :Report Detail: (Below meassage attetion to user that error report send what. So these messages are not important, too.) ---

...

Also it can help if you run the installer with logging:

$ msiexec VSHaskell71.msi /l log.txt

msiexec doesn't run its command. And error dialog noticed that you forgot /i optio. So I used below command.

$ msiexec /i VSHaskell71.msi /l log.txt

I think log.txt is much more useful than previous messages. log.txt also has Japanese messages. So I translated that part.

In the Visual Haskell\bin directory you can see one directory called 1033 with vs_haskell_ui.dll in it. vs_haskell_ui.dll contains various string resources used in Visual Haskell. For each supported language you need to have a different directory and 1033 is the code used for English. I don't know the code required for Japan but you can look at C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC\bin directory and see what code VC++ is using. After that try to rename the 1033 directory to what is required for Japan. Tell me whether that works.

Japanese diretory is 1041.

After rename it, I tried to use Visual Haskell 0.2. But same error dialog opened and exit Visual Studio, too.
