Thanks for looking at this and the help; Trying with "topdown" changes things, but as often is the case warns that it will break another ~60 packages if I force it, not sure if this will help me or cause the ruin of the rest of the local Haskell library universe.
Should I force it?! :-) C:\Users\guthrie>cabal install -v --solver=topdown cabal-install Reading available packages... Resolving dependencies...

I'm not quite sure what's going on. I've CCed Andres, who wrote the new constraint solver. One especially confusing part is this: C:\Users\guthrie\AppData\Local\Temp\Cabal-1.16.0.3-12392\Cabal-1.16.0.3\dist\set up\setup.exe configure --verbose=2 --ghc --prefix=C:\Users\guthrie\AppData\Roaming\cabal --user --flags=base4 --flags=base3 --constraint=process ==1.1.0.1 --constraint=pretty ==1.1.1.0 --constraint=old-time ==1.1.0.0 --constraint=filepath ==1.3.0.0 --constraint=directory ==1.1.0.2 --constraint=containers ==0.4.2.1 --constraint=base ==4.5.1.0 --constraint=array ==0.4.0.0 --disable-tests --disable-benchmarks Configuring Cabal-1.16.0.3...

This is highly likely to cause a compile failure. Why is Cabal setting both base3 and base4 to True? P.S. You can try the same command with --solver=topdown and see if that works.
