#101: Platform is broken on Windows 2000 (caball-install and network problems)

------------------------+---------------------------------------------------
 When I run cabal.exe on a Windows 2000 it fails with this pop-up:

 cabal.exe - Entry Point Not Found
 The procedure entry point freeaddrinfo could not be located in the dynamic
 link library WS2_32.DLL.

 This was metioned [http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1415309/problem-
 using-network-package-in-ghc before] but I couldn't find a report here.
 The problem will most probably go away once
 [http://trac.haskell.org/network/ticket/5 this] bug is fixed. In the
 meantime I would suggest making the windows installer "XP or later only"
 to avoid bad user experiences.
