 Hello all,

 I downloaded WinGRASS-6.4.1-1-Setup.exe (12-Apr-2011 21:56 vn) and
 installed it on a desktop running Windows XP 5.1 with Service Pack 3.

 Download and Install went OK - no problems.

 When trying to start winGRASS I got multiple error messages about missing
 .dll files: MSVCR71.dll / MSVCP71.dll

 I copied those .dll files from elsewhere on my system and pasted them into
 various folders under c:\Program Files\GRASS 6.4.1\

 I put them into \bin and other folders that already had .dll files, as I
 did not know which folders winGRASS was expecting to find them in.

 That has solved the problem - winGRASS has now started successfully -
 woot!

 Mark
