[GRASS-dev] latest snapshot G7 crashes on windows 7

Hi!

today with a friend we tried to install the latest snapshot of G7 on windows 7 on his computer. The installation went apparently smooth, but eventually at the start the program crashed. Since I don’t have idea on where to check for error logs in windows I wasn’t able to check the error in order to report it properly, and also the black window appeared for a fraction of second and disappeared. Any idea on where to look for hints?

Thanks in advance.

Best regards,

Hi,

I just tested grass7 with the latest nightly snapshot on XP, starts
ok for me.

if you open a cmd.exe window, and right click -> properties on the
desktop icon, at the C:\> prompt do a little cut and paste to
cd into the startup dir, then cut and paste the "target" startup
command.

then when it fails you get a chance to see the error without the
window disappearing.
