Description

```
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Install WinGHCi via Haskell Platform 2011.2.0.1
2. Try to start WinGHCi via start menu

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I expect WinGHCi to start, but instead get the error "CreateGHCiProcess failed
with failed with error 0" [sic] in a modal dialog. When I hit "OK", WinGHCi
closes.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
I am using WinGHCi 1.0.6, as installed by the Haskell Platform 2011.2.0.1, on
Windows XP SP3.

Please provide any additional information below.
I was able to resolve the issue by renaming the "StartGHCi.exe" file to
"StartGHCI.exe". I knew to try this by looking at WinGhci.c, line 551, which
tries to run "StartGHCI.exe". I'm assuming it failed because of the
capitalization of the "I". For some reason, after renaming the file back to
"StartGHCi.exe", it still works.
