[GRASS-user] GRASS: Permission denied

[Wolfgang Kresse]

Hello Veronica,

thank you for your great help! After having used the OSGeo4W installer, 
it works fine, i.e. I can start GRASS without admin-rights.

Remarks:

In my first try, I did the standalone-installation with
WinGRASS-8.0.1-1-Setup.exe

Now, the installation with OSGeo4W gave me version 7.8.5. But this is 
fine for me.

With kind regards
Wolfgang
