Yes! We do now have an installshield for Win32, including ghci, that
has the=20
new property that
a) you don't need to install anything else
b) even if you have installed other things (notably cygwin), ghc
won't be confused
by their presence
=20
Today we will put out a "thrill-seekers release" for Win32. By which I
mean that it'll
be a release of the HEAD of the tree, which hasn't been through the
usual stabilisation
process before release, so some dark corners may not work as advertised,
and=20
we won't advise gettting rid of your trusty 4.08 until we put out a full
5.02.

Is there an InstallShield Version of GHC 5.0 for Windows in
preparation? Will it be available soon? AFAIK, GHC 4.08.2 is still the
latest binary distribution for Win.
