I don't really have the time, but here's some debugging
code that'll maybe help diagnosing why/if WinSock is failing
to start up:

- compile the attached initws.c via ghc,

    foo$ ghc -c initws.c

- run some tests

    foo$ ghc -package net IWS.hs initws.o -e "initWS 1 1 >>= print"
    foo$ ghc -package net IWS.hs initws.o -e "initWS 2 2 >>= print"
foo$ ghc -package net IWS.hs initws.o -e "initWS 1 1 >> Network.BSD.getProtocolByName \"tcp\" >>= print" foo$ ghc -package net IWS.hs initws.o -e "initWS 2 2 >> Network.BSD.getProtocolByName \"tcp\" >>= print"

initWS returns 0 on success.

The GHC networking support is ultra-conservative wrt WinSock versioning,
sticking with 1.1 for max portability. Perhaps that's working against us here?

Needless to say, this is working for me (on a pair of XP boxes.)

It stopped happening for me on WinXP but it's still happening for my customer on Win2K.

Nope, actually it also happens for me with the updated installer.

Sigbjorn - any ideas?  It doesn't happen with my local STABLE  build, but
I'm still using gcc 3.2.x.
