New to haskell, cabal is not found

I try to run cabal from cmd on Windows however it isn't recognized. I have modified my PATH variable to include the bin directory of my haskell install however that does not work. Any ideas?

In my Haskell Platform installation (I'm using 2012.4 on Windows), the cabal.exe executable is confusingly not under <HASKELL_PLATFORM_DIR>\bin (where ghci.exe and friends live) but under <HASKELL_PLATFORM_DIR>\libs\extralibs\bin.

You could try adding the latter directory to your path as well; that worked for me, at least.
