The tests operate on a test config file by setting HOME to point to a test directory and then calling functions that modify the default config file. cabal locates the default config file by calling System.Directory.getAppUserDataDirectory. HOME has no effect on the location of the App Data directory on Windows, so the tests modify the real config file and its backup.
