New description:
{{{
1. Install GRASS in C:\GRASS
2. Check C:\GRASS\msys\home\, in this folder C\Documents and
Settings\MYNAME is created during install, where grass63 is sitting.
3. Run Start\Programs\GRASS\GRASS MSYS Console
4. Check C:\Gis\GRASS\msys\home\ again, now in this folder MYNAME
(lowercase) folder is created, without grass63 file in it.
}}}
Needless to say, that even if I move grass63 from the folder made
right after install
{{{
"C:\GRASS\msys\home\C\Documents and Settings\MYNAME"
to the one created on first run of MSYS
"C:\GRASS\msys\home\MYNAME"
}}}
GRASS GUI starts with error messages, grass63 -text doesn't start at all,
producing "Redirection is not supported" message.
Removing .grassrc6 from C:\GRASS\msys\home\C\Documents and
Settings\USERNAME\
and .grassrc6 from C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\
doesn't help.
The problem was replicated on at least 4 more machines by other
people under the same operating system and grass version.

Comment (by neteler):
Recent GRASS 6.4 should no longer have (much?) problems with white space
in the install path. Please retry with a new winGRASS version from
