Ups, some chronological hick-up here. But I think your question is  
answered now :-)

Yes, but you do need to install the bundle of Gtk+ libraries. I  
think compiling Gtk2Hs on Windows is not doable for the average  
developer which is a big step forwards as to where we were before.


It's supposed to be is now doable.

 Maybe I'm missing the point of your question, though.

Yes indeed, that is the intention.  (Although you will need to obtain  
a distribution of the gtk+ C libs before you install the Haskell  
bindings now, where previously these were included in the pre-built  
installer.)
