Hmm, I should probably install Vista and check this myself. > imagine that you installed HP2009.1, then installed a lot of libs on > top. next month you install HP2009.2 - and all these libs are gone. > although everything you need is just to add to your installation pack > of "standard" libs included in new HP release The installer touches neither your $PROGRAMFILES\Haskell directory nor ~/.cabal/config, so if both platform releases use the same GHC version, the libraries should continue to work (theoretically at least, I haven't tested it:-) ). If the GHC versions are different, you'd have to rebuild the libraries anyway. > yes, .bat will be useful too. but i meant start menu shortcuts for us, > dumb users :) Installer would add .bat shortcuts to the start menu, just like VS does. It'd give you a command line with PATH set up to point to the bin dirs of this platform release. Or do you want a shortcut that modifies system settings permanently? -- () ascii ribbon campaign - against html e-mail /\ www.asciiribbon.org - against proprietary attachments _______________________________________________ Haskell-platform mailing list [email protected] http://projects.haskell.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/haskell-platform
