4 different people here have downloaded the new wingrass installer. For all of them, the mysys startup did not work. It flashes a couple of terminal-like screens and exits.

that is the Jan15 installer - it is a known bug that has been fixed
right away but the installer is still posted - it would be really,
really great if the broken installer was removed - I get complaints
about that too from people who did not manage to get the previous one. I
suggest them to get the daily binary, they seem to work, but there is an
increasing number of users who are getting this broken installer and
get confused,

I believe Markus has the power to remove that binary. We should also
probably re-write the windows download page to direct users more
explicitly to the new nightly builds.

FWIW, I can start GRASS with the MSys installation directory renamed
to "c:\m sys" (this is using cmd.exe, not MSys/rxvt).
Scripts don't work; I suspect that the _spawnlp() in g.parser may
require quoting (or switching to G_spawn(), or supporting something
like the -s switch).
BTW, regarding gui/tcltk/gis.m/gis.m.bat:
@start "%GRASS_WISH%" "%GISBASE%/etc/gm/gm.tcl
1. the final double-quote is missing.
2. "start" seems to treat a quoted first argument as the title, so
this may need to be e.g.

Done so (not only me can do that).

about that too from people who did not manage to get the previous one.
I have now posted the latest of the daily binaries from Martin.

We should also probably re-write the windows download page
to direct users more explicitly to the new nightly builds.
note that the nightly build needs some adjustment, grass70.bat files
are making it into the 6.4 build and the msys.bat hacks are not applied?
(we should just put our version in svn and overcopy it as part of the
packaging script)
