Hi Andreas

I found it really easy to install cabal from darcs, I put the instructions:

http://www-users.cs.york.ac.uk/~ndm/projects/windows.php

Basically, install GHC 6.4.2 - ignore all the "configure not found"
messages, since they don't mean anything, then:

darcs get --partial http://darcs.haskell.org/packages/Cabal
cd Cabal
ghc --make -cpp Setup -o setup.exe
setup configure
setup build
setup install

Thanks

Neil
