I just tested GRASS 7 on Vista. It seems to pass the "welcome" screen just
fine, still CLI (CMD) is not set up correctly (LOCATION_NAME not set).
g.gui starts fine, still it is not possible to import any data as vector
import wizard fails to see any layers in a shapefile and raster data
importing fails when calling r.in.gdal with "file doesn't exist" error.
Exiting from CMD also fails with "Failed to start shell 'C:\Program
Files\GRASS GIS 7.0.svn\msys\bin\sh.exe'".
My guess - elimination of CMD part on windows as per #1891 AND elimination
of touching shell in ANY way is the only solution to fix this issue.

please could you do the test again with most recent GRASS 7.0 version?

Yes, startup screen now works fine. Still it has just uncovered next set
of problems. As this issue is fixed, I am closing it and will open new
ones for other failures.
