GRASS 6.4.2 RC3, downloaded from OSGEO4W, does not
load on Windows 7. When I double click on the icon,
a black window opens and closes immediatly
afterwards.
if you start from the "with MSys" launcher you
might be able to see an error message. otherwise
adding a "pause" to the end of init.bat (or
grass.bat or whatever the main launcher calls)
will stop the window from immediately disappearing
and give you time to read any error messages.
No, neither of those things solved it.The window still disappeared after doing what you said.
Grass 6.4.2 RC2 worked fine and Grass 7 works fine on my macine. GRass 6.5 and Grass 6.4.2 RC3 don’t.
Im just an end user and its possible that I didnt fully understand your instructions. It would be best If you could find another W7 user a little more knowledgeable than I am, who could replicate this problem.
