[GRASS-dev] grass-dev Digest, Vol 191, Issue 1

[Doug Newcomb]

The Windows installer at
https://grass.osgeo.org/grass80/binary/mswindows/native/x86_64/ for GRASS
8.0.0 RC1 still has the same issue as the Windows installer for 7.8.6
reported at https://github.com/OSGeo/grass/issues/1965.   GRASS GIS will
not start for local users not in the administrative group. ( On Windows
home, the first user created on installation is in the Administrators
group, please add a new user with standard level for testing.)  Would you
want a new bug created for 8.0.0 RC1?  Based on the discussion in 1965
<https://github.com/OSGeo/grass/issues/1965> , a one line change in the
NSIS template should fix it for 7.8.x and 8.0.X  From what I have read, the
NSIS installer has issues using the 'BU' designation on Windows version
above 7.0 for computers with the native language different from the native
language that the NSIS installer was created on.   I remembered from a
previous call that the build computer recently moved from Windows 7 to
Windows 10. which may explain why this issue recently cropped up.

The workaround to the bug is to manually set the permissions on
etc\GRASS80.py to give the local USERS group read and execute rights to
match the file permissions of all other files in the etc directory.

Still trying to wrap my head around the MSI creation methodology mentioned
in the meeting last week.
