Other folks in OSGEO have created OSGEO4W with a number of packages.
However, GRASS is in the 'advanced' section--and it is not clear what
libraries need to be downloaded with it--and it cannot be installed
stand-alone.
the osgeo4w installer is just fine, only thing is missing is, that
GRASS
should appear in the 'basic' section as well (should not be that
complicated) and all depandances are fixed. than the installation is
IMHO enough straight forward and easy.

Jachym,
The osgeo4w installer does not work well with Vista. The binary seems
to have been compiled for XP and so various modules fail when GRASS
installed is installed in this way on Vista. There needs to be a Vista
version of the installer
Also, while the osteo4w installer is nice for individual installs, it
is problematic for institutional lab installs, where IT managers want
to have stand alone apps that they can test, install, and remove
rather than a suite of apps in a package installer format. It's the
same problem I've face with the Cygwin version when trying to use
GRASS in university classroom labs. It would help to have the option
to install a package as stand alone.
