I think that "c:\Program Files" is already too cluttered, maybe we should use:
1) C:\Program Files\Haskell\<package-name>-<version>

2) C:\Haskell\<package-name>-<version>
where "Haskell" could also be "Packages" I guess.
I strongly reject Daan's point :-). The prefix should come from the registry, since that is the Windows way. "C:\Program Files" doesn't even exists on foreign-language Windows machines. And programs which assume they know that C: is the right (i.e. only) hard disk are a pain, since you can do a network install where only Registry entries are local. Axel.
