Can I ask why you chose 2010.1.0.0 ?

    http://haskell.org/platform

The download page clearly says "Current stable release: 2010.2.0.0"

Clicking on the windows button links to a page with "The Windows installer for
the 2010.2.0.0 Haskell Platform"

I hope the download site for the HP isn't leading people astray.
