 > > I wouldn't say that this is a winGRASS '''bug''', it's a window
 operating system and a sytem right issue that can't be solved easily; as
 there are quite a lot of different right managements out there in the
 windows world. so I would class it rather an enhancement than a defect.

 > It is. In *NIX world that equals shipping a package (RPM, deb) with
 missing go+R permissions. This is not a limitation of Windows. This is an
 error in Wingrass installer not setting correct permissions on files.
 Changed the summary to better reflect the scope of this issue.

 > I am not familiar with NSIS and Wingrass, but as grass70.py file was
 affected, I would look on some of the magic touching that particular file,
 i.e.:
 > https://trac.osgeo.org/grass/browser/grass/trunk/mswindows/GRASS-
 Installer.nsi.tmpl#L884

 it could be that changing some content in the file by L884 etc. may change
 the permission rights on some windows systems.

 for setting permission rights:
