Actually, WinGRASS RC6 works pretty well on vista. This is the first gotcha
we've encountered with the new build.
Good to hear. It would be interesting to collect these Vista issues to
see if there is any specific pattern which might explain the cause.

Marco,
It's failed on several student machines here. I don't have a windows
box, but will ask others to try. One of the systems that it failed on is
running Vista. I don't know if another one is Vista or XP.

Hi Michael,
I think that Vista is the key. I build and test WinGRASS on XP, so I
cannot figure out how does it run on Vista. This links to an issue I
already pointed out in the list: it's a fact that any professionist or
scientist who works on Windows actually still uses xp or 2000, but the
future is on Vista, since new machines (specially notebooks) seem to not
work with xp, due to unreleased libraries for xp to manage new HD
architectures. Should we start to think to build on both Vista and XP, and
thus release two versions of WinGRASS? I think that, at least, we need to
intensively test on Vista.
