WinGRASS does not launch

[TheloniusMonk]

I just installed GrassGIS (6.4.2.2; 6.4.2.1 and 6.4.1.1). If i try to start the program I always receive the following error-messages:

g.dirseps.exe - Application Error g.gisenv.exe - Application Error clean_temp.exe - Application Error python.exe - Application Error

Every error message comes with the following text:

"The application was unable to start correctly (0xc0000022). Click OK to close the application."

I already treid to install it into a folder without spaces (D:/data/GRASS) and installed the latest Microsoft NET framework package. But the problem did not get fixed.

Best regards Alex

Please check also Your home folder for any non-latin letters (i.e. C:\users\Māris would cause failure). Also worth to check if Your antivirus software isn't messing with GRASS during installation. Usually to install GRASS or QGIS I have to disable Comodo antivirus and defence+ Just temporary disable antivirus software and reinstall GRASS. Do not disable firewall, as GRASS installs just fine with firewall running and disabling firewall might leave Your computer vulnerable to network viruses.

Also check if there isn't more information in "advanced" part of error message.

Can you please try a more recent installer (see also the comment above)?

Same here on Windows 7 (64bit!). Using the ProzessMonitor we found a missing read access to a DLL.

Check access rules of:

• windows/SysWOW64/msvcr71.dll

could you explain the process of doing that?

yesterday when pressing esc-enter I got an application error with set_data.exe when starting from the DOS command line startup icon on Windows7, I'm not sure if that's related or something else. (grass seemed to start ok after ack, anyway)

Could you try this update?

It might be worth spending a bit of time with Dependency Walker exploring to see which of python.exe or wx.dll or gdal.dll or ... is responsible for the new msvr100 dependency.

ping?

it should be fixed now if you select the install "important microsoft runtime libraries" button during installation.

No feedback, assuming that the new install "important microsoft runtime libraries" button helps.

Closing, feel free to reopen if the problem persists.

Still open? Closing for good.
