Comment (by mcandre):

 It was NOT my attempted solution. My attempted solution was to manually
 create the correct variable within $PATH. My assumption was that somewhere
 within the Haskell Platform installer, a path such as "C:\Program Files\"
 instead of "\"C:\Program Files\"" is used. As a programmer, I've noticed
 that omitting these quotes often causes such problems.

 I'm glad to hear that you've deduced the problem to be GetShortPathName,
 which is far more specific than my guess.
