I’m reporting an error on behalf of a student. She tried to install Wingrass 6.4RC2 on her Windoze 7 machine and got the following error[1] when trying to launch the program: Path names containing spaces are not supported. Problem is that she has confirmed all the default paths during installation, also for grass data set. Several students did the same also on Win 7 without problems. So, what’s wrong? Please help…
