 Priority:  normal         |   Milestone:  7.0.0

 Using the GUI or CMD-interface I get the following error when running
 v.centroids:
 {{{
 v.centroids input=in output=out
 Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "C:\OSGeo4W\apps\grass\grass-7.0.0svn\scripts\v.centr
 oids.py", line 69, in <module>
     main()
   File "C:\OSGeo4W\apps\grass\grass-7.0.0svn\scripts\v.centr
 oids.py", line 63, in main
     grass.exec_command("v.category", type = 'area',
 **options)
   File "C:\OSGeo4W\apps\grass\grass-7.0.0svn\etc\python\gras
 s\script\core.py", line 499, in exec_command
     os.execvpe(prog, args, env)
 }}}

 Peeking into scripts/v.centroids.py at line 63 reveals a call to
 {{{
 grass.exec_command("v.category", type = 'area', **options)
 }}}
 which fixes the error when changed to
 {{{
 grass.exec_command("v.category.exe", type = 'area', **options)
 }}}

 It looks like you have to add a ".exe" in some cases under Windows.
