Comment (by refold):

 Now that's weird. Looking at ghci.c, there are two calls that can give us
 this error: SearchPath and GetShortPathName. I'm suspecting the latter.
 Maybe this has something to do with spaces in the path? Given that GHC is
 installed to C:\ghc by default, what happens if you install HP to
 C:\hp2010?
