First of all, great job with native WinGrass!! As much as I love the
linux version, I had to install the windows version on a friends
computer and it's working great! Even NVIZ works! Impressive!!!
Had a little trouble in the begining because I forgot to install tcl
but that was fixed pretty fast..
Just a little warning though. When I was installing my AVG Anti-virus
screamed that a file (can't recall which - forgot to write down) had a
hidden .exe extension and AVG said that could be a virus! I know it's
not the case but it gave my friend a big scare.
Just as a complement, the file that AVG complains about a hidden
extension is r.out.mpeg.exe
cheers

Hi Daniel,
it's a known issue with antivirus programs under MS-Windows. There's
nothing GRASS developers can do about this until MS-Windows gets fixed
(determining file type by content and not by it's extension) but such
change will not happen in nearest future (~100 years or more).
Only solution - add GRASS files to whitelist.
You can find more information in GRASS user/developer mailing list archives.

first of all mz thanks to the developers who developed GRASS for Windows. After some zears working with ERDAS I did a small project with GRASS and it worked out verz fine.
Regarding the Anti Virus software, a month ago we made a worshop with 15 students and worked with WINGRASS. Some things did not work properly, but the computers differed in their bugs. Could the reason be Antivirus software ? Are their experiences, which AV software influences GRASS more and which influences it less ? Would it help just to deinstall the AV software ?
Best regards

I had this sort of erratic behaviour when working with datasets on a
network share or if different users logged onto the machine on different
days trying to access data from a local partition.
Never quite managed to sort out the chaos ...
