Yesterday we also have installed the  winGRASS XServer version (note,
there is a 5.0.2 out now, please try that one first!).

You may not install the Cygwin tcltk but the xtcltk from the GRASS web
site, winGRASS section.

Results:
 - graphical startup doesn't work  -> bug in Init.sh?
 - interactive text startup works
 - cmd line startup with path to GISDBASE doesn't work  -> bug in Init.sh?
 - inside GRASS
     - d.mon works
     - tcltkgrass works
     - nviz works (yes!!)

Aparts from a strange problem in the Init.sh, it runs well.

Recommendation for above problem:
- remove the 5.0.0x you have and install 5.0.2
- remove $HOME/.grassrc5
- try again
