Yes - its wise not to upgrade platform components, especially on Windows.

What command are you using for ghc?

With Platform 2009.2.0.2, I've tested a simple regex example with just
/ ghc --make ModuleName / - it compiled and ran under both MinGW and
the Windows prompt.

Also does can you launch with runhaskell on the Main module?
