<div>Hi Frank,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Try: </div>
<div>set GRASS_HTML_BROWSER=C:/Progra~1/Intern~1/iexplore<br></div>
<div>You can also cast opening the following file on your browser:</div>
<div><a href="file:///C:/OSGeo4W/apps/grass/grass-6.4.0svn/docs/html/full_index.html">file:///C:/OSGeo4W/apps/grass/grass-6.4.0svn/docs/html/full_index.html</a></div>
<div>(change the version directory)</div>

grass.bat.<br><br>That particular command was commented out in my version; I tried<br>un-commenting it but I still got the same error.<br><br>The relevant contents of my two batch files are:<br><br>C:\OSGeo4W\bin\grass64.bat<br>
--------------------------<br>...<br>rem Path to your web browser<br>rem set GRASS_HTML_BROWSER=%SYSTEMDRIVE%\PROGRA~1\INTERN~1\IEXPLORE.EXE<br>...<br><br>I also tried changing the above statement to:<br>set GRASS_HTML_BROWSER=%PROGRAMFILES%\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe<br>
<br>but I still got the same error.<br>
<div class="im"><br>C:\OSGeo4W\etc\ini\grass.bat<br></div>----------------------------<br>...<br>set GRASS_HTML_BROWSER=%PROGRAMFILES%\Internet Explorer\iexplore<br>...<br><br>I can confirm that grass.bat is executed, but it also appears to be<br>
overridden by grass64.bat (I can tell because the g.manual error contains<br>"iexplorer.exe" rather than just "iexplore").<br><br>After some investigation I also found another copy of grass64.bat at<br>
C:\OSGeo4W\apps\grass\bin, however the second copy does not appear to be<br>executed and is missing several statements.<br><br>The operation and purpose of all the batch files isn't clear to me at the<br>moment but I will help where I can to diagnose the problem.<br>
