#499: fresh windows startup not very friendly ---------------------------+------------------------------------------------ Reporter: hamish | Owner: [email protected] Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: minor | Milestone: 6.4.0 Component: default | Version: 6.4.0 RCs Resolution: | Keywords: wingrass startup Platform: MSWindows XP | Cpu: Unspecified ---------------------------+------------------------------------------------ Comment (by hamish):
Great, FWIW here's a post detailing the differences between %HOMEPATH% vs %USERPROFILE%, etc: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg05565.html still todo: - test latest patches on Windows - port new helpful hello message to wyPython (mostly for grass7; because the default for grass6 is tcltk, if .grassrc6 is missing it will never try and start the wxPy startup gui unless you specifically start from the cmd line with -wxpython) and, 1/2 the initial reason for this bug report: - init.bat does no handle UNKNOWN cleanly ("access ) (init.sh understands what it means and tests for it though). starting "grass64 -wxpython" at the osgeo4w dos shell gives a similar error (and a loud beep): {{{ access: Invalid arguement ERROR: LOCATION << C:"/Docs and Settings/user/Desktop/<UNKNOWN> >> not available }}} ah, I found it. Init.bat was calling clean_temp unconditionally, and that's what is giving the error. Patch on its way....
