> Still fails with today's nightly. To test, please, create a new user
account (i.e. "test"). If it's working on Your system, my guess would be -
somebody "forgot" that GRASS can be started also for first time with MSYS?

> There's no location at all! It's a fresh start without GISDBASE,
LOCATION etc. set. There's no way how to set LOCATION before GRASS startup
screen (wx, tcl, text) comes up (for ordinary users).

tested with WinGRASS-6.4.SVN-r45829-1-Setup
(1) all existing GISDBASE renamed, so no findable anymore
(2) starting "GRASS 6.4.SVN with MSYS"
(3) no existing GISDBASE, LOCATION etc. is found, in the msys-shell there
is following message
{{{
Cleaning up temporary files ...
Starting GRASS ...
access: No such file or directory
}}}
and a wxgui pops up where I can choose any folder which is used as
GISDBASE. I choose C:\test whithout any location in it.
(5) as next step the location wizzard pops up where I'm able to define a
location
