[GRASS-user] I can't get Grass to run

[Chris Arai]

   Hi, I'm trying to get started but I can't get Grass to run. I'm on a 
Windows 10 platform running Grass 8.0.
I get this error:

C:\Program Files\GRASS GIS 8.0\extrabin\python3.exe: can't open file 
'C:\Program Files\GRASS GIS 8.0\etc\grass80.py': [Errno 13] Permission 
denied

If I run as administrator I get a python Traceback

Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "C:\Program Files\GRASS GIS 8.0\etc\grass80.py", line 2741, in 
<module>
     main()
   File "C:\Program Files\GRASS GIS 8.0\etc\grass80.py", line 2490, in main
     ensure_home()

    File "C:\Program Files\GRASS GIS 8.0\etc\grass80.py", line 874, in 
ensure_home
os.environ["HOME"] = os.path.join(os.getenv("HOMEDRIVE"), 
os.getenv("HOMEPATH"))

    File "C:\Program Files\GRASS GIS 8.0\Python39\lib\ntpath.py", line 
78, in join
    path = os.fspath(path)
TypeError: expected str, bytes or os.PathLike object, not NoneType

Any ideas how to fix this?
