There may be another Windows issue, but I'm not sure. When trying to create a location from a georeferenced file in Windows XP, 2 student got the same error
r.in.gdal input=F:\Documentele mele\GIS DataBase\SRTM_ff03_p184r028.tif\SRTM_ff03_p184r028.tif output=GIS_Group title=S_Carpathians_Romania location=Romania_UTM
ERROR: region for current mapset is not set
run "g.region"
Both students were trying to import geotif SRTM files from the GLCF site. They were importing different files and I've never run into problems with files from this site before.
However, another student successfully imported a georeferenced geotif of an ASTER DEM from another site, and created a location in Windows Vista. Both were using the same GRASS 6.4RC5 binary.

+1^10 for releasing GRASS 6.4.0
[...]

error
I will be able to try to fix some Windows-related bugs later. My
Windows are completely broken after I have installed SP3, so I need to
reinstall the whole system. Thanks Microsoft for providing SP which
destroys working (almost) OS
To follow up on a recent thread, I'm also in favor of trying to
get 6.4 released. I know of 2 major issues
1) v.delaunay is still badly broken <http://trac.osgeo.org/grass/ticket/660>
2) nviz will not launch from the wxpython menu in Windows.
Because this does launch from the Msys command line, I
suspect that it is something in the wxpython code (perhaps
menuform.py). I don't think this is the same as <http://trac.osgeo.org/grass/ticket/627>
the g.version Makefile fails on Windows. Also the wxGUI Help->About
version of the GPL(+authors) is broken so there is no straight way to
inform the users of their rights under the GPL, which is a mandatory
requirement for release.
There may be another Windows issue, but I'm not sure. When
trying to create a location from a georeferenced file in
Windows XP, 2 student got the same error

this was bug #654 in rc5 I think. If so, it is fixed soon after / sorry
about the trouble, I get to wear the brown paper bag. Was it self-built?
AFAIK Colin and JEF both updated to newer 6.4.0svn checkouts now.
Yes. This issue is now fixed on Windows XP with the newest binary.

Yes please do, it gives the false impression that the RC is a more
stable version than the more recent SVN. I tried to remove it myself
earlier, but being a bit new to this I guess I didn't do it properly
(r39032).

Any objections to removing the (buggy) native RC5 binary from the WinGrass
downloads page now that there is a newer one there?
