Comment(by GG1234):

 Well, that one was short : it seems the problem arise because Win7 doesn't
 allow to create folders with an initial ".". I manually added it with a
 workaround found on "superuser.com" : put an initial AND a final "." like
 this : ".grass7." in Windows Explorer. Windows will accept it and delete
 the final dot.
 Then the PG connection commands worked fine.

 It might be usefull to add this in the osgeo4w installer ?
 Should I therfore set the ticket to fixed ?

 Thanks,

 Cev.
