Hi, Does the current latest Haskell Platform install on Win8.1? I don't seem to have luck. I have it installed on my portable, which runs Win7. On my desktop I have 8.1, and the installers asks me whether I want to stop and restart with elevated permissions. It does this however I start it, including from a command prompt running as administrator, or from the 'right click' run as administrator. Continuing then fails to write to Program Files (x86). Any ideas? James

Works fine for me on two machines.

I always install to a path like "C:\Haskell\Platform\2013.2.0.0", maybe that works better for you, too. Tillmann PS. I then put a directory symlink from C:\Haskell\Platform\current to C:\Haskell\Platform\2013.2.0.0 so that I can add the C:\Haskell\Platform\current directory to the PATH environment variable and never have to change it again. And I configure all paths in my cabal configuration file to point to C:\Haskell\Platform\current\something, so I get a fresh start when I install a new Haskell platform and update the symlink. So far, this setup has served me well.
