cabal install hsdev fails on win32-notify-0.3.0.1

Question

I'm trying to install hsdev and it is failing on win32-notify-0.3.0.1

Failed to install Win32-notify-0.3.0.1

The exception was:
ExitFailure 1
fsnotify-0.2.1.1-JyIc8LmykhYJl0khTEfcky depends on fsnotify-0.2.1.1 which
failed to install.

This is the first time that I have tried to use cabal so any help with debugging this would be appreciated.

Additionally the reason I'm trying to install this is for the SublimeHaskell, it is saying that hsdev cannot be found (I installed haskell via the Haskell-Platform).

This is fixed in recent versions of Win32-notify:
