No since I had done this already the last time.

page with [<Back<] [>Forward>] buttons to give the user a second
opportunity to select it)
I don't think so:
I guess I should select it only once (here, done 2 weeks ago, see ticket),
then
the machine should be ok? Otherwise we should always force to install it
if
*this* is the problem (cannot test right now).
> - can you recreate from the command line to see the error message?
right-click on the menu item, look at the properties to get startup dir
and command name, open a dosbox, cd into the startup dir and paste in the
startup command.
Will do later on.

fine for me, and should not affect the wxGUI startup at all, so I'm
doubtful it's the cause)

C:\Program Files\ or Docs & Settings install location?
The entire purpose of my Windows8 installation which came with my new
laptop is
to test GRASS GIS. I simply download the standalone installer and run it.
No
other tricks done. Since the older installers worked while now broken for
me
I suspect some recent change.

As written, also the Tcl-Tk startup is broken for me at time.
I also deinstalled/reinstalled, no way.
