Comment(by martinl):

 Replying to [comment:22 mlennert]:

 > > Ah, OK, it's probably caused by the fact that the standalone installer
 puts `python27.dll` to the different directory (ie. `extralib`) compared
 to `python.exe` (`extrabin`). Directory `extralib` is in the path
 source:grass/trunk/mswindows/env.bat#L17, but it's probably not enough.
 The problem could be solved by moving `python27.dll` to `extrabin`. Then
 we could probably move all DLL files to `extrabin` and get rid of this
 directory. It's comment practice to have DLL files together with EXE files
 in the same directory. I don't know why the standalone installer separates
 them to the two different directories, ie. `extrabin` and `extralib`.

 it helped, GRASS now starts, python scripts called from command line also
 starts. My suggestion is to apply patches r57639 and r57646 also in GRASS
 6.x, ie. to remove `extralib` directory from standalone installer. Any
 objections?

 > but ISTR that there is also an issue with the Windows registry, i.e.
 that the dlls called depend on registry entries (I think that this came up
 as a problem at least in the case of python scripts called from python
 scripts).

 Right, it's open issue.
