Apparently, you've been bitten by a bug in the installer:

http://trac.haskell.org/haskell-platform/ticket/137

I haven't updated the installer yet, but in the meantime you can
install regex-posix from Hackage (there is a new version out that
should work on Windows out of the box). Do a 'cabal install
regex-posix' followed by 'cabal install --reinstall
regex-compat'.
