Comment (by Toxaris):

 My ghcs are installed in c:\ghc. I don't think that their location is
 relevant to the issue at hand.

 I don't think that I set the path "c:\program files\Haskell" for cabal-
 installed stuff manually. I guess it is the default path. If cabal can not
 work together with the (maybe stupid) OS mechanisms to protect "c:\program
 files", it should avoid using this path by default.

 Of course, cabal should not display a UAC prompt unnecessarily. But
 displaying a UAC prompt '''when necessary''' is clearly superior to
 failing, and seems to be in the spirit of the UAC.
