try installing the .net frameworks,

see http://grass.osgeo.org/wiki/WinGRASS_Current_Status#Platform_specific_issues


please let us know if it solves the problem.


if you start from the "with MSys" launcher you
might be able to see an error message. otherwise
adding a "pause" to the end of init.bat (or
grass.bat or whatever the main launcher calls)
will stop the window from immediately disappearing
and give you time to read any error messages.
