It's quite possible to make a Windows installer that just bundles the Gtk+ dlls and does not need ghc etc. For example, here's a demo: http://haskell.org/~duncan/gtk2hs/LSystemSetup.exe It's an installer (built using InnoSetup - which is Free software) for a Haskell program that uses gtk2hs and opengl. It installs on a clean machine, no gtk2hs or ghc is required. Constructing such an installer is not hard. The zip files containing all the necessary gtk dlls are available so it's just a matter of the installing them all along with your application .exe file.
