Haskell Language Software Deployment

[Scomer90]

Hi all,

 

Has anyone attempted to deploy Haskell and been successful? I have tried creating a package on SCCM and it sits there 'in progress' I have also attempted to convert it to an MSI using advanced installer but have had no joy so far. I am hoping someone out there is using it and has been successful.

I don't use Haskell myself, but I had a quick look and it appears that you also need to specify the installation path for the bundled stack installer otherwise the main installer will stop and display a prompt which you wouldn't be able to see because it's running under the SYSTEM account.

Try this command-line...

 

Install (Note. Do not include quotes in the paths)

HaskellPlatform-8.0.2-a-minimal-x86_64-setup.exe /S /STACK=C:\Program Files\Haskell Platform\8.0.2-a\local\bin /D=C:\Program Files\Haskell Platform\8.0.2-a

 

Uninstall

"C:\Program Files\Haskell Platform\8.0.2-a\Uninstall.exe" /S
"C:\Program Files\Haskell Platform\8.0.2-a\local\bin\uninstall-stack.exe" /S

 

Something else it could be is this issue...

Hi Arthur

 

I have given that a go and it worked. I am now deploying it across our I.T rooms. Thank you so much for your help!

Excellent news!

Just a quick thank you for speeding up my packaging of Haskell.

Always nice to be able to skip the digging about to get things working.

Did anybody else get the ? help icon on the tool bar in WinGHCi to work?

In the HaskellPlatform-8.2.1-core-x86_64-setup.exe I've installed from it fails to open and when checking with procmon I see it trying to open it from "C:\Doc\html\index.html" when the files are installed to "C:\Program Files\Haskell Platform\8.2.1\doc\html\index.html".

 

Any thoughts and suggestions most welcome.
