I have cabal installed WIn32-services apparently successfully, but ghc fails to link any program that imports its module. For example, examples/simple.hs.

This is using windows xp, so if it works on newer versions, which I cannot easily test right now, this might be My Problem and not your problem...

This project is awesome! I have only dreamed of writing my Windows services in Haskell. Now it is tantalizingly close to being realized. If I were to end up using this, however, I would need support for extended (user-define) control codes.

Thanks for contributing this.

I'm trying to run both the simple and official examples, but getting the following error:

[SC] StartService FAILED 1053:

The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion.

I'm using GHC 7.8.3 on Windows 8.1 x64 with the following cabal config:

  Extra-Libraries: Advapi32
  Extra-Lib-Dirs: "C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Windows Kits\\8.1\\Lib\\winv6.3\\um\\x64"

Any ideas?
