Comment:

This library has been recently moved to the separated package in OSGeo4W.
You are referring to the standalone or OSGeo4W installer. Please try the
most recent version first.

I installed WinGRASS-7.0.svn-r57955-734 and GRASS started without any
issues.

(With this build I also noticed extralib has changed to extrabin.)

Thanks,
