 it seems to be a mixing of different gdal-versions.

 WinGrass70 is built against gdal17. but in WinGrass7 (installed by the
 installer) there is
 only gdal15 in the path and available in the WinGrass7-command-line, but
 no gdal17.

 AFAIK there are some important changes from gdal15 to gdal17. so a
 WinGrass7 built against gdal17
 isn't working with gdal15 in the path?

 so maybe the WinGrass7-installer built against gdal17 should be adapted in
 that way to adopt gdal17 as the regular version
 of gdal?

 best regards
 Helmut

 related to the nightly WinGrass-builds, all branches and the recommended
 way of compiling wingrass in the wiki (both inside the osgeo4w-stack).

 at the moment WinGrass64 and WinGrass65 are built against gdal16,
 WinGrass70 against gdal17. but in the WinGrassXX-installer only gdal15 is
 available in the path, but no gdal16/gdal17 and all dependecies
 (GDAL_DATA, GDAL_DRIVER_PATH,
 PYTHONPATH=%OSGEO4W_ROOT%\apps\gdal-16\pymod,
 PATH=%OSGEO4W_ROOT%\apps\gdal-16\bin; the same for gdal17; see gdal16.bat
 or gdal17.bat in C:\OSGeo4W\bin) living in C:\OSGeo4W\apps\gdal-16 or
 C:\OSGeo4W\apps\gdal-17 are included.

 the wingrass-installer should include a working gdal-version which the
 WinGrass-version is installed against.

 best regards
 Helmut
