Comment(by Monsikos):

 After running "cabal --version" I confirm that I'm using the 0.8.2
 version.

 I think it happens for all packages as every package I tried to install
 gave the same "incorrect header check" error.

 I unpacked the .tar.gz manually successfully and then installed the
 package manually with the "runghc Setup ..." commands. It works this way.

 Here is what I get when I run "cabal install binary-search -v" for example
 C:\Users\Paul>cabal install binary-search  -v
