Installing GHC on Windows

Question

Using this guide's instructions to install GHC on my Windows 10 instance, I can't follow the first step:

https://downloads.haskell.org/~ghc/6.0/docs/html/users_guide/sec-install-windows.html

"Download the Installshield setup.exe from the GHC download page haskell.org."

Having dowloaded this file from the site linked in that guide, there is no setup.exe.

Windows 64-bit (x86_64)
ghc-8.6.2-x86_64-unknown-mingw32.tar.xz (203.8 MB, sig)
This is compatible with Microsoft Windows Vista and later. It also includes 
support for compiling C++ files.

I unzip the file to folder "ghc-8.6.2" consisting of folders

"bin, doc, lib, mingw, perl"

(Yes, I searched for the setup.exe)

Could anyone tell me how I could get to the setup.exe so it will take care of setting up PATH etc?

You can use chocolatey [1] in which case it's just

choco install ghc which will install ghc and Cabal and give you a working environment. It has every version of ghc and Cabal released.
