for me, although it installs its own copy of MSYS and MinGW, which seems strange.</span></p></div></div></blockquote><div>The idea is to make MLton easy for Joe-average windows user. Bundling a known-good mingw with MLton means the user doesn't have anything else to setup (MinGW isn't a very easy install) and we avoid problems where mingw changes something mlton depends on (this has happened in the past).<br>

That MSI installer gave you a bleeding edge MLton. You may be affected by still other changes made since the 20070826 release.<br>
