That’s wonderful Colin. Thanks very much. Is this a vista friendly version or an XP version?

Subject: [GRASS-dev] Updated WinGrass release installer now available

I have created a new installer for grass-6.4.0RC3, built on windows
vista (through the osgeo4w tree). This “just-double-click” installer
creates a stand-alone Grass (no osgeo4w structure).

This is still experimental but I think everything works (minus the old
tcltk gui). After installation there should be two icons on your
desktop. The “grass msys” one is new (created by me) and allows you to
use an msys terminal with grass. Please test and report on both
methods and on all windows versions.

I have another installer for develbranch_6 but I’ll wait to hear
positive feedback on this one before I release it. Once a couple
issues with 7.0 get worked out I’ll put together that installer too if
it is wanted.

This Grass was built on vista, some of the other stuff (gdal, etc)
maybe have been built on xp, I'm not sure, ask Jef. As far as I know,
everything should work on vista. But please let me know if there is
anything that is still not working.

Also we should really centralize all the vista issues (perhaps on
http://grass.osgeo.org/wiki/WinGRASS_Current_Status#Vista) so that we
know what to test and what's still not working.
