I thought that I've fixed that. On my machine, it creates "Start Menu\GHC".

For example, the current default disk directory is "$PROGRAMFILES\Haskell Platform\$PLATFORM_VERSION". So, 2009.2.0 will be installed to "Program Files\Haskell Platform\2009.2.0", and 2009.2.1 will live under "Program Files\Haskell Platform\2009.2.1". I'll probably change the default Start Menu directory in the next release to "Haskell Platform\$PLATFORM_VERSION" too. However, there will still remain PATH and registry conflicts - coincidentally, they'll have to be fixed to make the Haskell Platform installer coexist nicely with WinHugs and other related tools (this is also scheduled for the next release). _______________________________________________ Haskell-platform mailing list Haskell-platform@projects.haskell.org http://projects.haskell.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/haskell-platform
