<div dir="ltr"><div><div>Thanks Garrett.<br><br></div>I deleted the Haskell Platform installation, manually removed all traces of GHC and the Hakell Platform from my registry and various folders, then re-installed the Haskell Platform. I created a folder under the 'C:\' drive, copied my .hs files there, changed to that subfolder started ghci. The file loaded without error. This seems like a problem the developers might address in the next release?<br>

</div>You can specify -o<dir> with a directory that doesn't exist; perhaps GHC<br>
always tries to create the output directory?<br>
<br>
In any case, I can confirm the observed behavior with GHC 7.6.1 on<br>
Windows 8, running with elevated privilege. It seems to only be a<br>
problem in the root directory tho---while I can observe the problem in<br>
both C:\ and D:\, I can't in any subdirectories thereof.<br>
