Thank you, something's changed wrt path handling it seems. A temporary fix/workaround (as reported by other Vista users) is to add the ghc-6.6\gcc-lib directory to your PATH.
If you have the time, here's a couple of things to try out to diagnose the problem further: c:\foo> echo int x = 22; > foo.c c:\foo> c:\ghc\ghc-6.6\gcc -Bc:\ghc\ghc-6.6\gcc-lib/ -c foo.c <...> # expected to fail (same as ghc's invoc of gcc below) c:\foo> c:\ghc\ghc-6.6\gcc -Bc:\ghc\ghc-6.6\gcc-lib -c foo.c <...> # what happens here? c:\foo> c:\ghc\ghc-6.6\gcc -Bc:\ghc\ghc-6.6\gcc-lib\ -c foo.c <...> # what happens here? --sigbjorn Satnam Singh wrote:
The -v output below. I shall try it with Vista RC2 and see if that make a difference. The same installer file on Windows XP and Windows Server seems to work fine.

And before anyone tells me to: no, I can't use Linux! Cheers, Satnam
