[GRASS-user] grass 6.5 svn will not load on Windows 7

Dear all.

I just installed grass 6.5 on Windows 7 64 bits using osego4w installer. But when I try to run, a black window open and then everthing stops and grass does not load. Grass 6.4.2RC2 and Grass 7 both work fine.

Best regards

everthing stops and grass does not load.

Confirmed here in my 32bit windows VM. Should we file a ticket in the
osgeo4w trac?

Cheers

does the black window flash up then go away?

or does it complain about paths with spaces in them?

Hello Hamish

It’s neither of those cases.

The black windows shows up and then goes away. It happens very quickly but after a several tries (20 or so) Ive been able to discern part of the message that appears just before the windows closes.

“system…cannot find speciefied path…” (or something like that, it appears for less than a second, its the best I can do)

Best regards
