I think that script may never have been run...?! (I'm hacking away at a
binary install here, and it's a tangled path of batch files and shell
scripts with ~6 different launchers*, so take failures with a grain of
salt)

[*] both osgeo4w and stand-alone builds installed, both with wx,tcl, and
text startup icons.. and all slightly similar but slightly different
methods of starting.



my next attempt was to put it into this script:
http://trac.osgeo.org/grass/browser/grass/trunk/mswindows/GRASS-Installer.nsi#L619

but then I thought it better to put it with the other enviro vars set=:
http://trac.osgeo.org/grass/browser/grass/trunk/mswindows/GRASS-Installer.nsi#L520

and now it sticks & is well "upstream" of almost everything.
shrug.


even with that I still can't get gui/scripts/v.type.py or
gui/scripts/g.change.gui.py to run. (also weirdly nviz(tcltk) from the
wxGUI File menu just silently returns, even though it starts from
the msys command line without any trouble)

thanks.
