I downloaded the files http://cvs.haskell.org/Hugs/downloads/hugs98-Dec2001.msi and http://cvs.haskell.org/Hugs/downloads/GraphicsLib.msi from the page http://cvs.haskell.org/Hugs/pages/downloading.htm I also installed the latest Windows Installer from http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/release.asp?releaseid=32831 Unfortunately, the Windows Installer says the *.msi files could not be opened and asked whether they were valid Windows Installer packages. I am running Windows 95. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Daniel Herring nuntius@ku.edu
Hi, I suspect you're using Netscape, which doesn't correctly handle .msi file downloads - at least not until we've tweaked the setup of the web server we're using. Try using IE instead. hth --sigbjorn ----- Original Message ----- From: "Daniel Herring" <herring@eecs.ku.edu> To: <hugs-bugs@haskell.org> Sent: Monday, December 31, 2001 17:40 Subject: Installation problem

Thank you for the prompt response. As you guessed, switching browsers from Netscape to IE fixed the problem. I don't exactly understand what the problem was; but until it is fixed, a note on the website might be a good idea. Something like "Netscape Navigator does not download these files correctly. Please try using Internet Explorer." Thanks again, Daniel Herring nuntius@ku.edu
Thanks, we'll try to fix this ASAP, but until then, I've done what you suggest & updated the download page with a notice re: this. --sigbjorn ----- Original Message ----- From: "Daniel Herring" <herring@eecs.ku.edu> To: "Sigbjorn Finne" <sof@galois.com> Cc: <hugs-bugs@haskell.org> Sent: Tuesday, January 01, 2002 02:46 Subject: Re: Installation problem
