[GRASS-dev] select issue with wingrass

[Michael Barton]

Moritz,

At least some of this was solved this afternoon by my very enterprising RA.
It turns out that Javi was following the installation directions too
closely. 

He simply opened the zip file (in WinZip I think), and dragged the grass
folder onto his C: drive.

This won't produce a complete working GRASS (though very confusing, it will
produce an ALMOST working GRASS).

Isaac, had Javi reinstall by expanding EVERYTHING in the zip file into C:.
Apparently, there are some hidden files that also need to get onto the C:
drive, and that don't get there by just dragging the grass folder from zip
file. 

Ultimately, the most reliable thing, I guess, would be to create a
self-extracting archive (*.exe). But maybe you understand what when wrong (I
still don't know what is missing with the other installation method).

Still haven't tested everything, but the file selection and some other
things work now (as of 3pm when I had to leave the lab). Hope to find out if
v.in.db works too. 

Thanks for working with us on this.

Michael
