That's true. > At this point, everything was ok.

My guess is that this is because the two installations overlap and therefore confuse Add/Remove Programs, perhaps because they have the same name (which is perhaps used as a UID). > Is this a uninstall bug? > (ps: installing GHC-5.02 didn't bring my old DLLs back). Indeed, because 5.x versions of GHC don't come with DLLs. The fix is to reinstall 4.08.1 (there's a link to old versions on the GHC download page; actually, you'll get 4.08.2). _______________________________________________ Glasgow-haskell-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/glasgow-haskell-users
