Might it make sense to try and get the concept of "global" and "user" working in Windows? (It may already, but I noticed that the default seems to be global.")<br><br>I don't know what technical challenges there are, but the ApplicationData directory (or AppData, or whatever) seems like a good place to stick user cabal packages.<br>

I tried the "cabal install" command on Windows 7, and I had to run it<br>
with administrative privileges, otherwise I got access denied (it<br>
failed to create the Haskell folder in C:\Program Files)<br>
<br>
Not sure if this is also the case on Vista.<br>
<br>
Is this the intended behavior?<br>
