[Haskell] ANNOUNCE: Haskell Communities & Activities Report (11th ed., November 2006)
On behalf of the many, many contributors, I am pleased to announce that the Haskell Communities and Activities Report (11th edition, November 2006) http://www.haskell.org/communities/ is now available from the Haskell Communities home page in several formats: PDF, for screenreading as well as printing, HTML, for those of you who prefer not to deal with plugins or external viewers, and PostScript, for those of you who have nice quick printers that do not grok PDF. Many thanks go to all the people that contributed to this report, both directly, by sending in descriptions, and indirectly, by doing all the interesting things that are reported. I hope you will find it as interesting a read as we did. If you haven't encountered the Haskell Communities and Activities Reports before, you may like to know that the first of these reports was published in November 2001. Their goal is to improve the communication between the increasingly diverse groups, projects and individuals working on, with, or inspired by Haskell. The idea behind these reports is simple: Every six months, a call goes out to all of you enjoying Haskell to contribute brief summaries of your own area of work. Many of you respond (eagerly, unprompted, and well in time for the actual deadline ;) ) to the call. The editor collects all the contributions into a single report and feeds that back to the community. When we try for the next update, six months from now, you might want to report on your own work, project, research area or group as well. So, please put the following into your diaries now: End of April 2007: target deadline for contributions to the May 2006 edition of the HC&A Report Unfortunately, many Haskellers working on interesting projects are so busy with their work that they seem to have lost the time to follow the Haskell related mailing lists and newsgroups, and have trouble even finding time to report on their work. If you are a member, user or friend of a project so burdened, please find someone willing to make time to report and ask them to `register' with the editor for a simple e-mail reminder in the middle of April (you could point me to them as well, and we can then politely ask if they want to contribute, but it might work better if you do the initial asking). Of course, they will still have to find the ten to fifteen minutes to draw up their report, but maybe we can increase our coverage of all that is going on in the community. Feel free to circulate this announcement further in order to reach people who might otherwise not see it. Enjoy!

It's not good error message. Anyway, I translate it.
Near the end of install process, error dialog opened and says:
---
The problem happende, so exit Microsoft Development Environment.
I'm sorry for causing inconvenience to you.
(under its message, error dialog has form that send error report
for Microsoft or shows error detail. These messages are not
important, so I don't translate that.)
---
And click form that shows error detail, another dialog opened.
It shows:
---
:Error ditail:
An unhandled exception has been caught by the VSW exception filter.
:Error Signature:

:Report Detail:

So these messages are not important, too.)

msiexec doesn't run its command. And error dialog noticed that
you forgot /i optio. So I used below command.
$ msiexec /i VSHaskell71.msi /l log.txt
I think log.txt is much more useful than previous messages.
log.txt also has Japanese messages. So I translated that part.

Hi Erik,
I have installed/uninstalled VSHaskell several times on two different
computers without any problems but perhaps there is something specific
with your configuration. Could you run your VStudio from another
VStudio instance in debugging mode. That way you can see in the debug
console whether it tries to load vs_haskell.dll at all.
Cheers,
Krasimir

Hello Haskellers,
I am happy to announce that there is a prerelease version of Visual Haskell
on:
http://www.haskell.org/visualhaskell
This is the first version that is:
- available for both VStudio 2003 and VStudio 2005
- distributed with a stable GHC version (6.6)
This is still prerelease version but if there aren't any bug reports
in the next few days I will just rename it to release. Many thanks to
Simon Marlow, Brian Smith, Wayne Vucenic, Jared Updike and Pepe Iborra
that helped me with the preparation of this new release.
Cheers,
Krasimir

Re: [Haskell] Re: ANNOUNCE: Visual Haskell prerelease 0.2
Yes. All patches are pushed in. It is much easier to build it now but it is still tricky especially if you have to build it manually. It is much easier if you use VSHaskell to build VSHaskell ;-).

Re: [Haskell] ANNOUNCE: Visual Haskell prerelease 0.2
Hi Shelarcy, Could you tell me what error message you see during the installation? If it is in Japan then translate it in English ;-). Also it can help if you run the installer with logging: $ msiexec VSHaskell71.msi /l log.txt In the Visual Haskell\bin directory you can see one directory called 1033 with vs_haskell_ui.dll in it. vs_haskell_ui.dll contains various string resources used in Visual Haskell. For each supported language you need to have a different directory and 1033 is the code used for English. I don't know the code required for Japan but you can look at C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC\bin directory and see what code VC++ is using. After that try to rename the 1033 directory to what is required for Japan. Tell me whether that works.

Near the end of install process, Microsoft Development Environment cause error. I don't know this problem come from Academic version or not. Because I've also installed Visual C++/C# 2005 Express edition before, and I use Japanese Version. Visual Haskell 0.0 under Japanese Version cause an problem. I and a few people tested Visual Haskell 0.0 under Japanese Version with Windows 2000. We saw that we can't make new Haskell Project and Visual Haskell says like this - there is no application associated with .cabal (We use Japanese Edition, so I don't know correct error message under English Edition). Of cource, Visual Haskell installer accociated .cabal by Visual Haskell. I also know that a person can make new Haskell Project on first time ... but after he exit Visual Studio, he can't make new Haskell Project again. If does anyone can install Visuall Haskell 0.2 to academic version or Japanese version, please report it to help finding what is problem or not.
