maybe an issue with windows UAC (see [1],[2)]?

UAC isn't present in WinXP, but Vista and a above.

last year, creating a manifest [3] for everey module-exe was added in the wingrass-build process. 
a manifest tells the windows os how to proceed with an exe.

just have a look in C:\OSGeo4W\apps\grass\grass-6.4.0\bin, 
everey xyz.exe is accompanied by an xyz.exe.manifest.

let's try following on the Win7-plattform

- after copying exe and dll in 
grass6.4.1svn/bin, just copy d.ask.exe.manifest and 
rename it to i.segment.exe.manifest. 

- open this file in 
an text editor and change every occurence of d.ask to i.segment.

- try running i.segment in the wingrass-session.

best regards
Helmut
