----------------------------+-----------------------------------------------
 I've installed Haskell Platform 2010.2.0.0 and I cannot make any use of
 cabal since "cabal update" results in:

 Config file path source is default config file.
 Config file C:\Users\suszynsk\AppData\Roaming\cabal\config not found.
 Writing default configuration to
 C:\Users\suszynsk\AppData\Roaming\cabal\config
 Downloading the latest package list from hackage.haskell.org
 cabal: failed

 cabal -V returns:
 cabal-install version 0.8.2
 using version 1.8.0.6 of the Cabal library

 I'm using Windows Vista Enterprise

 GHC ver. 6.12.3

 [I was unable to select correct versions of cabal and ghc in this "create
 new ticket" form]
