Description
Several errors come up when starting grass, and it seems they relate to gdal and proj. Starting grass in text mode, g.region -p gives error:
"This application has failed to start because gdal16.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem"
The same error occurs with the test version 6.4.0RC3.
For related errors in tcltk mode see: http://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/grass-windows/2009-January/001658.html
The file gdal16.dll is not located anywhere within the OSGeo4W directory.

Similar problems arises due to placement of installation directory. I have placed the copy of installation CD on my network server. The installation from e.g.
server\install\OSGeo4W\CD_20090127\setup.exe results in missing libraries. Mapping network drive (F:\OSGeo4W\CD_20090127\setup.exe) does not improve the situation. Only subst command solve the problem (subst G: F:\OSGeo4W\CD_20090127\). I suppose, burning CD must be also solution.

Update: the non-test version grass-6.4.0RC3-2 seems to have resolved this issue. There were still several packages I had to add manually including: curl, expat, hdf, libjpeg, libmysql, netcdf, ogdi, and xerces.
QGIS seems also to have been fixed, at least for that library. But an QtCore4 error came up instead. (QtCore4.dll is installed).
The same error occurs when starting Q-GIS.
