[Haskell-cafe] What's up on Win 8.1 64 bit, Haskell Platform?

[james]

This is a transcript of the very first session I have after installing 
Haskell Platform 7.8.3, 64 bit.

Why is cabal-install continuing to be confused about the version 
installed/available?

How can I tell cabal to STFU about it?
