 is this a fresh system without any previous winGRASS-installation before?

 I've added gmkfontcap.bat (''Run g.mkfontcap outside a grass session
 during installation'') years ago.

 relevant lines of codes
 [http://trac.osgeo.org/grass/browser/grass/trunk/mswindows/GRASS-
 Installer.nsi.tmpl#L531 g.mkfontcap] and following.

 any idea which variable isn't set?
