Hello people,

I get a strange error message every time I try to install haskell. My last attempt was trying to install it with the following command: choco install ghc --pre.

The whole message is the following:


C:\Windows\system32>choco install ghc --pre

Chocolatey v0.10.15

Installing the following packages:

ghc

By installing you accept licenses for the packages.

The package cabal wants to run 'chocolateyInstall.ps1'.

Note: If you don't run this script, the installation will fail.

Note: To confirm automatically next time, use '-y' or consider:

choco feature enable -n allowGlobalConfirmation

So if I understand correctly the failure is that: The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process. I am not sure what I am doing wrong. The same applies when I try to install haskell through the "choco install haskell-dev" command. Which process is blocking the installation if any?


Thank you in advance
