Hi,
cabal-install 1.18.0.2 has two critical bugs on Windows.
1. "cabal sdist" command make broken tarball on Windows.
https://github.com/haskell/cabal/issues/1538
2. "cabal update" command broke package index sometimes.

Both bugs are already fixed in 1.18 branch's cabal-install (with Cabal 1.18.1.2). But that version isn't released yet. So, please release newer version of cabal-install before releasing HP 2013.4.0.0.
Best Regards,
