Could not write updated PATH to HKLM"

Description

"Could not write updated PATH to HKLM"

This message was given three times when I installed Haskell Platform 2011.2.0.1 on my brand new Windows 7 Enterprise (with Service Pack 1) computer. (btw, vs. 2011.2.0.0 does exactly the same)

After inserting the path by hand in the environment variables, ghc was found from the command prompt.

The fact that this message was given three times, and I just resolved one path, suggests that I am missing two other paths. Could you let me know which ones? Thanks, Stef Joosten stef.joosten@…

That's because you don't have admin privileges (#62). The directories that are added to PATH are listed here: 

  ${EnvVarUpdate} $0 "PATH" "P" "HKLM" "$INSTDIR\bin"
  ${EnvVarUpdate} $0 "PATH" "P" "HKLM" "$INSTDIR\lib\extralibs\bin"
  ${EnvVarUpdate} $0 "PATH" "P" "HKLM" "$PROGRAMFILES\Haskell\bin"
