[Matej Borovec]

Try this for every package:

mkdir c:\temp
cd c:\temp
cabal unpack data-default-instances-base
cabal install ./data-default-instances-base

L.S.,

I get messages about .a files not being found, when I try to install
package data-default-instances-base, data-default-instances-containers,
data-default-instances-dlist or data-default-instances-old-locale. How can
I solve this? I am using GHC 7.10.1 on Windows.

Sample output:
