Comment(by misterbee):

 Related, avoiding the Eclipse complexity:

 I just installed 2012.2 on Windows 7, 64 bit, after attempting to delete
 all traces of c:\ghc, Haskell Platform old versions and
 AppData/Roaming/cabal

 I ran cabal update (a mistake?)
 and the first cabal install I try fails:

 and then when I try to install hoogle, for example:

 {{{

 C:\Users\Mike>cabal install hoogle
 Resolving dependencies...
 In order, the following would be installed:
 haskell-src-exts-1.13.3 (new package)
 http-types-0.7.1 (new version)
 semigroups-0.8.3.2 (new version)
 tagsoup-0.12.6 (reinstall) changes: text-0.11.1.13 -> 0.11.2.0
 transformers-base-0.4.1 (reinstall) changes: transformers-0.2.2.0 ->
 0.3.0.0
 monad-control-0.3.1.4 (new version)
 lifted-base-0.1.1.1 (new version)
 resourcet-0.3.3.1 (new package)
 unordered-containers-0.2.1.0 (reinstall) changes: hashable-1.1.2.3 added
 uniplate-1.6.7 (reinstall) changes: hashable-1.1.2.3 added, syb-0.3.6 ->
 0.3.6.1
 void-0.5.6 (new package)
 conduit-0.5.2.2 (new version)
 blaze-builder-conduit-0.5.0 (new version)
 network-conduit-0.5.0 (new package)
 simple-sendfile-0.2.5 (new version)
 wai-1.3.0 (new version)
 warp-1.3.0 (new version)
 hoogle-4.2.12 (new package)


 cabal: The following packages are likely to be broken by the reinstalls:
 xss-sanitize-0.3.1.1
 monad-control-0.3.1
 lifted-base-0.1.0.3
 conduit-0.2.2
 zlib-conduit-0.2.0.1
 simple-sendfile-0.2.1
 attoparsec-conduit-0.2.0.1
 Use --force-reinstalls if you want to install anyway.


 }}}

 I guess it's to do with the fact that cabal update has a different view of
 the world than platform did?
