Size: 25.1 Mb.

Please let me know if you run into any problems with it.

thanks,

btw, Mike Thomas deserves a special mention for very
helpful (and quick) feedback on the ghc-5.02.2 RC installer.
Feedback that has been used to improve both the 5.02.2
and 5.03 installer setups.

* - This installer relies on the Windows Installer runtime to
operate. If, after having downloaded the above file,
double-clicking on the MSI file doesn't start up the installer,
the likely cause is that you don't have the runtime installed
on your machine. Redistributables of the runtime can be
downloaded from Microsoft:

 *  http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/release.asp?releaseid=32831
     (Windows 95,98 and ME version)
 * http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/release.asp?releaseid=32832
    (Windows NT and 2000 version).

Try installing the appropriate version before double-clicking
again on the GHC installer.
