[GRASS-dev] [GRASS GIS] #812: New installer only does partial install

#812: New installer only does partial install
--------------------------+-------------------------------------------------
Reporter: JonBall | Owner: grass-dev@lists.osgeo.org
     Type: defect | Status: new
Priority: critical | Milestone: 6.4.0
Component: Installation | Version: svn-releasebranch64
Keywords: Installation | Platform: MSWindows Vista
      Cpu: x86-64 |
--------------------------+-------------------------------------------------
Platform: other
grass obtained from: Trento Italy site
grass binary for platform: Downloaded precompiled Binaries
GRASS Version: r39740-1

After having had problems with the previous version of GRASS I tried the
new installer (uploaded last night). This is even worse as it does not
install key directories including bin, etc and others. Clicking any of
the start-up icons results in only a very brief flash of a window on the
screen.

i can confirm this. I've found a typo in the packaging files.
