 try removing the %HOME%/.grassrc6 file or installing on a fresh system/VM.

 And/or cancel after initial startup with a new .grassrc6 file containing
 location (etc) set to <UNKNOWN>, then restart.

 Or delete/rename the GISDBASE, LOCATION, or MAPSET dir which happens to be
 the last one used.

 The .bat file just checks that the rc file exists in %HOME%, not that it
 contains valid entries, and if it's the same as init.sh, the operational
 version used by G_*() isn't the one in $HOME anyway.

 I'm not sure if init.sh is terribly better about it checking validity, but
 the question is if it creates a fatal script exit in the WinGrass startup,
 while a similar problem would just create a harmless error message to the
 console on UNIX.
