I cannot confirm this: If I launch grass using /c/grass/bin/grass63
(i.e. the shell launch script, not the .bat), nviz works perfectly for
me, both from the gui and from the comand line.

(You have to change the definition of GISBASE from c:/ syntax to /c/
syntax for it to work...I've corrected this in the wingrass6.3RC2
package now)

Could you be more precise as to what exactly you are doing ? Do you
launch grass via grass63.bat and then launch sh.exe within a running
grass session ?

If you run grass in msys you have to run the grass63 file which then
calls Init.sh which sets the path to the scripts directory.
