Of course people will add and remove different grasses after the initial install, so setting it to the shortened version as it was at install time is not ideal. I can even imagine someone downloading multiple versions of WinGrass and trying to run both the installers at the same time, with interesting results if GRASS-~1 suddenly becomes GRASS-~2 as far as the file system is concerned. Hamish ps- why not "C:\Program Files\GRASS-6.4.SVN" ? -64- looks a little weird to me and could be confused with 64bit. does the .4 or .svn get mistaken for a file type? On the other hand, final \GRASS-64 (or is it GRASS-640?) fits into 8.3 already which avoids some of the shortname headaches. Same for the names in the Start menu structure. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.osgeo.org/grass/ticket/1178#comment:16> GRASS GIS <http://grass.osgeo.org>
