Comment:

 > "Be sure to have rights to install the software."

 whoa, don't use those words. You'll make people question if the software
 they just downloaded is illegal.

 Why not just throw the usual error if mkdir C:\Program Files\GRASS-6.4.0
 fails? And in the error message suggest a (possible) cause/remedy. (try
 running as Admin)


 I'm bit confused about where g.mkfontcap is now, is the idea to let it run
 in the background but stall the -Finished- page until that is done? I know
 when installing software on windows in the computer lab as soon as it says
 "finished" I'll shut down the machine and move on to the next one. Any
 backgrounded jobs would get clobbered..


 at finish it would seem more appropriate to open release notes (static
 copy shipped with the pkg pls) than the help pages?


 minor; AFAIU users don't actually have to "I Agree" to the GPL to use it
 (only to distribute it). Change "Agree/Disagree" to "Ok"?
 (I understand the installer software may not have considered the concept)
