146	Cannot update cabal (Windows PATH issue)	Olathe	refold	"On Windows with Haskell Platform 2010.1.0.0 :
 * The all-users `PATH` variable contains `%INSTALLDIR%\lib\extralibs\bin`.
 * The user-specific `PATH` variable contains `%APPDATA%\cabal\bin`.

This causes a problem because :
 * Every directory in the all-users `PATH` variable is always checked first, so the shell always uses `%INSTALLDIR%\lib\extralibs\bin\cabal.exe`.
 * `cabal install cabal-install` only updates `%APPDATA%\cabal\bin\cabal.exe` rather than both.
 * So, you effectively can't update `cabal` on Windows.

''__Workaround__'': Delete `%INSTALLDIR%\lib\extralibs\bin\cabal.exe`."	defect	reopened	minor	2013.2.0.0	Windows installer
