 afaik those warning messages only come from the shell script version(??).
 I did not want to make running it with paths containing spaces fatal in
 case somebody wanted to work on improving the make+spaces situation, but
 maybe we should to avoid lots of bug reports. I expect windows users to
 mostly spend their time in the wxgui so unless they are used to the unix
 version first they'd usually be steered to Martin's pre-built download
 modules. shrug.

 wrt wget, is it not packaged?? I thought it was. or maybe curl is shipped
 instead? if wget is shipped maybe there's a path problem?

 the python g.extension.py is in 6.4svn (it is what is shown in your
 screenshot). sorry I can't be much help with the .py file association
 errors.

 `g.extension ext=database` ? is that to download and build all db addon
 modules??
