[GRASS-user] Recommended GRASS GIS version/installer for Windows?

Dear list,

which version/installer would you recommend for a GRASS GIS (newcommer) under
Windows?

Someone is facing a show-stopper -- in his words:

" When I try to install new addons (for instance the denoise one) simply by
clicking the “fetch” button I get this:" (screenshot at)

Thank you, Nikos

IMHO osgeo4w [1] is a good starting point.

I confirm the error message with osgeo4w-wingrass6.4.3RC2 and
osgeo4w-wingrass6.4.3svn please report it as bug.

Hi,

I confirm the error message with osgeo4w-wingrass6.4.3RC2 and
osgeo4w-wingrass6.4.3svn please report it as bug.

generation of `modules` file is apparently broken on server side (will
take a look). Anyway you can install an extension from wxGUI command
line by running (note .py extension)

g.extension.py ext=<name of extension>

in r54732 `g.extension` should be now more resistant. If `modules.xml`
file is not available or broken, the module try to scan SVN directly
(which is much more slow, no description or keywords fetched).

Thank you Helmut, Martin. I am forwarding this as is.
