Comment(by hamish):

 Hi,

 see also #1103, this one is a semi-duplicate ticket.

 after a little hunting, I notice the tooltip for the start wxGUI is
 "Launch GRASS ${VERSION_NUMBER} with wxGUI and CMD console", but since
 then the CMD console was switched off in favor of GUI-only mode, so the
 comment is a little out of date. maybe the empty window is more hangover
 effect?

 You can right click on the grass65svn.bat shortcut and go to Properties ->
 Shortcut Tab -> Run: and change to "Minimized", but I wonder why
 SW_SHOWMINIMIZED from the CreateShortCut in GRASS-Installer.nsi.tmpl is
 not always respected? Maybe if you click on the taskbar button for it it
 remembers the last-used state instead of the installer's original state?


 ... is there a way in windows to run a .bat file without opening a dos
 box?
