Hi Dennis,
Did you use the default install directory or a custom one? A custom
directory what caused this error for me. The simple solution was to
uninstall and reinstall to the default Program Files\Visual Haskell path.
Alternately, have a look at this file here -
http://darcs.haskell.org/vshaskell/vs_haskell_setup/setup.vbs
What's failing is the calls to regsvr32.exe - if you search your system
for vs_haskell.dll, you'll most likely find that it's in... C:\Program
Files\Visual Haskell\bin, no matter what install directory you specified.
If you check the registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Visual
Haskell\<Visual Studio version>\InstallDir you'll see that it's set to
the one you specified (where Visual Studio version is 7.1 for 2003 and
8.0 for VS 2005.
So what's happening is that regsvr32 is trying to find the DLL's in the
\bin directory of your specified install dir, but the DLL's are over in
Program Files... not sure what other bugs this could introduce, hence
why I reinstalled to Progam Files <etc>. If you run the following three
commands in a command prompt, it should work to some extent, but I'll
reiterate that I haven't tested this.
regsvr32.exe /i:8.0 /n /s "C:\Program Files\bin\vs_haskell.dll"
regsvr32.exe /i:8.0 /n /s "C:\Program Files\bin\vs_haskell_babel.dll"
regsvr32.exe /i:8.0 /n /s "C:\Program Files\bin\vs_haskell_babel.dll"
VS 2003 users should replace 8.0 with 7.1...
Now, is there a bug tracker anywhere for this, or is it just the mailing
list? I think the hardcoded paths in
http://darcs.haskell.org/vshaskell/vs_haskell_setup/Common.wxs need to
be tweaked, or the reg key(s) modified. :-)
Anyway, hope that helps you, good luck.
Liam Clarke
