In *NIX world that equals shipping a package (RPM, deb) with missing go+R permissions. This is not a limitation of Windows. This is an error in Wingrass installer not setting correct permissions on files. Changed the summary to better reflect the scope of this issue. > > I am not familiar with NSIS and Wingrass, but as grass70.py file was affected, I would look on some of the magic touching that particular file, i.e.: > https://trac.osgeo.org/grass/browser/grass/trunk/mswindows/GRASS- Installer.nsi.tmpl#L884 it could be that changing some content in the file by L884 etc. may change the permission rights on some windows systems. for setting permission rights: http://nsis.sourceforge.net/AccessControl_plug-in -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.osgeo.org/grass/ticket/2290#comment:9> GRASS GIS <http://grass.osgeo.org> _______________________________________________ grass-dev mailing list grass-dev@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/grass-dev
