[GRASS-user] where is MSYS in GRASS 7?

[Bartolomei.Chris]

Good evening ... I've downloaded the OSGEO4W GRASS GIS 7.0.3 and msys ... and that works, but as I am trying to test my scripts the vector topology is no longer compatible (oh joy) so I am trying to use the steps provided on (https://grasswiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Convert_all_GRASS_6_vector_maps_to_GRASS_7) only to find out that the module v.build.all looks like it is not compiled in their distribution ... there are a whole lot of modules in the C:\OSGEO4W64\apps\Grass\Grass-7.0.3\bin folder that are Windows Batch Files and not Applications, so when you try to run one of them the returned message is that the given module is not found...  Is that the way the distribution should be ??? The python code is in C:\OSGEO4W64\apps\Grass\Grass-7.0.3\scripts ...
Thanks for any insight. (should I create a new thread?)
:)

Perhaps we should more prominently advertise that?
