Hi, this is a known problem, fortunately with a known solution: http://grass.osgeo.org/wiki/WinGRASS_Current_Status#XP.2F2000 She will need to download and install two missing files from Microsoft: (in order) * Microsoft's Windows Installer 3.1 Redistributable (v2) http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?displaylang=en&id=25 * Microsoft's .net framework 3.5 downloader http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=21 Many other software supply these, so usually it only happens on a brand new (or kept very clean) computer. If anyone has suggestions on how to make the grass installer test for those, or how to make the error pop up a useful message explaining what to do, please contribute :-) Hamish _______________________________________________ grass-user mailing list [email protected] http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/grass-user
