Comment (by jrobins):

 Marco,

 I'm running winGRASS version 6.3.0RC6 on Vista.  I configured GRASS with
 the windows installer program. I tried r.patch using the spearfish
 dataset, but when I
 try to launch r.patch from the wxPython GUI's menus, I first get a
 security alert which
 prompts me to allow or deny r.patch.exe access to my computer.  When I
 press 'Allow', I
 get the following error message:

 This application has failed to start because libgrass_gis.6.3.0RC6.dll was
 not found.  Re-installing the application may fix this problem.

 Then r.patch.exe crashes and Vista automatically kills it in the same
 manner that it
 would kill a hung program.  The GUI seems to work fine afterwards.

 When I run r.patch from the menu in the Tcl/Tk GUI, I get this error:

 couldn't execute r.patch: invalid argument.

 Running r.patch from the Output-Gis.m window fails without an error
 message.

 I hope this helps,

 John
