Dear Helmut, I may have discovered the immediate cause of my 0xc000007b. I have been investigating winGRASS 6.4.4, but the deduced remedy works for winGRASS 7.2.1 as well.
The setting of PATH looks peculiar even at the beginning. From some later point on the order of searching for a .dll seems to be %GISBASE%\bin C:\WINDOWS\system32 C:\WINDOWS\system C:\WINDOWS %APPDATA%\.. %GISBASE%\bin %GISBASE%\lib %APPDATA%\GRASS6\addons (In my case this path does not exist.) %GISBASE%\bin %GISBASE%\extrabin It is awkward, but it works as long as, say, system32 does not contain an unsuitable version of a .dll, whose expected version is, say, in extrabin. In my case this happens with libtiff.dll. extrabin has libtiff dll│411136│16/06/12 . system32 has libtiff dll│546816│07/03/16 . Renaming the system32 version to libtiff1.dll lets the v.info soils in winGRASS 6.4.4 with Spearfish come up with a reasonable output. It also lets winGRASS 7.2.1 with Spearfish start a GUI. Yours, Edmund _______________________________________________ grass-user mailing list [email protected] https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/grass-user
