RE: ghc-6.6 on Windows Vista: "cannot exec as"

The -v output below. I shall try it with Vista RC2 and see if that make a 
difference.
The same installer file on Windows XP and Windows Server seems to work fine.

Cheers,

Satnam

Thanks; for people that don't have access to Vista, the output resulting
from 'ghc -v Hello.hs' would help narrowing this down a bit...I hope.
