 > Still fails with today's nightly. To test, please, create a new user
 account (i.e. "test"). If it's working on Your system, my guess would be -
 somebody "forgot" that GRASS can be started also for first time with MSYS?

 > There's no location at all! It's a fresh start without GISDBASE,
 LOCATION etc. set. There's no way how to set LOCATION before GRASS startup
 screen (wx, tcl, text) comes up (for ordinary users).

 tested with WinGRASS-6.4.SVN-r45829-1-Setup

 (1) all existing GISDBASE renamed, so no findable anymore

 (2) starting "GRASS 6.4.SVN with MSYS"

 (3) no existing GISDBASE, LOCATION etc. is found, in the msys-shell there
 is following message

 {{{
 Cleaning up temporary files ...
 Starting GRASS ...
 access: No such file or directory
 }}}

 and a wxgui pops up where I can choose any folder which is used as
 GISDBASE. I choose C:\test whithout any location in it.

 (5) as next step the location wizzard pops up where I'm able to define a
 location
