 When one tries to start recently downloaded WinGRASS6.4.1 immediately
 after installation, it fails.  Messages complain that files msvcr71.dll
 and msvcp71.dll are missing.  Finding those files in my WinGRASS6.4, and
 copying them to the 6.4.1 installation, solved the problem for me.

 Suggestion - confirm that these two files are missing from the 6.4.1
 WinGRASS installation.  If so, add them. If not, why did they not get
 properly placed in my installation (tried twice)?

 This should not await a new version, but should be easy to rectify, so
 should be fixed now in the current installation of WinGRASS6.4.1
