[Haskell-beginners] OMG - Cabal again...

[Gregory Guthrie]

YACP - Yet another cabal problem...

Trying to install criterion, which fails for test-framework, which fails for regex, which fails for mtl, which reports that it is fine and installed!
Is there any simple recipe to restart the libraries for cabal (on windows)?
