Comment(by hamish):

 Hi,

 it sounds like you have most of the runtime redistributables in place,
 msvcr100.dll is a new one though. When you installed did you tick the box
 to install "Important Microsoft Redistributable Libraries" on the same
 page in the installer as the option to download the sample datasets? Even
 though you probably have most already it might be a good idea to try that
 anyway.

 To see what the error message is you have to stop the window from closing
 so fast once it exits. Perhaps the easiest way around that is to open a
 command window (start button then type "cmd" into the search and click in
 the "C:\>" icon) and from the DOS prompt change into the grass startup
 directory then run the startup command by hand.

 To make this easy right click on the grass desktop icon and copy and paste
 out the "start from" directory to the terminal with "cd
 c:\path\goes\here", I think that points to the c:\grass64\msys dir (for
 you) but I'm not sure it actually matters.

 Then cut and paste the actual startup command into the command terminal,
 and wait to see the error.

 Is it still "LOCATION_NAME not set"? (which should be recoverable) Do any
 of the other grass session menu items work from the grass menu in start
 menu -> all programs? For example, if you can start from the text based
 command session, maybe that fixes the broken/missing "grassrc6" last-
 settings file which remembers the LOCATION_NAME from the previous session.
 ?


 thanks,
 Hamish
