Component: default | Version: 6.3.0
Keywords: sample data north carolina |
----------------------------------------+-----------------------------------
During installation of WinGRASS 6.3.0 on Windows XP, I'm choosed to
install North Carolina sample data. The installer fails to find it with
error 404. See screenshot attached for the exact error message.
Note that I've not tried to install the other sample data package for
spearfish. Perhaps it also needs some fixes.

Do you have any active firewall?
Please, in that case disable it (or allow the GRASS installer to access
the internet) and perform a new GRASS inatallation (you don't need to
uninstall it, just run the installer again)

Marco,
I'm now connected to an open wireless network on university. I don't use
any antyvirus or thirdparty firewall software. I have disabled the default
firewall of Windows XP but it didn't help. I'm still getting the same
error. I hope it helps.

(Un)related to this: if you don't select any dataset to be installed it
starts with broken .gisrc6 file apparently (not sure how this file works
under Windows, at least the startup is blocked with a related message).

No, on Windows it doesn't happen, because the installer creates a .gisrc6
file that "points" to the demolocation (installed in $DOCUMENTS/GIS
DataBase, as the others sample datasets, if selected)

Sorry, misunderstanding: I read .grassrc6 instead of .gisrc6; AFAIK,
.gisrc6 is not used in WinGRASS,

Yes,
already done in the current under-development installer: South Dakota will
be replaced with Spearfish County.
