 I've managed now following:

 (1) running g.mkfontcap invoked by the installer. a console window pops up
 with a little info message and closes automatically and the installer
 continues. at the moment no idea to do this in the background, but better
 than nothing.

 (2) in the last installer-windows there are now the options to launch
 grass and view the reference manual in the system default browser. both
 options are working now.

 (3) and the button text "next" on the license window

 I'll add screenshots of the different steps and a patch for Grass65.

 I think something like that should go into Grass64(RC6).
