#2372: GRASS 7 on windows starts with minimized CMD window
-+--
 Reporter:  marisn   |   Owner:  grass-dev@…  
 Type:  defect   |  Status:  new  
 Priority:  blocker  |   Milestone:  7.0.0
Component:  Startup  | Version:  svn-releasebranch70  
 Keywords:  wingrass |Platform:  Unspecified

 This is an inverse bug of #1891

 Steps to reproduce:
  * Install Wingrass on a clean machine (without previous GRASS 7 install
 or just remove AppData/Roaming/GRASS7 folder)
  * Click on "GRASS GIS 7.0.0svn GUI" icon to launch GRASS
  * Observe how GRASS fails to start.

 Actual behaviour - GRASS starts a minimized CMD window with a welcome
 message and prompt "Press Enter to continue". Unless user notices
 minimized CMD window and makes a correct guess to restore the window to
 read any messages there, he waits forever for GRASS to start.

 Expected behaviour - GRASS starts with normal (non-minimized) CMD window
 thus allowing user to read the Welcome message and press Enter to launch
 GUI.

 I had a chance to observe how 20 persons were hit by this bug. Thus a
 claim "it doesn't affect users" is not a valid one.

 Tested on Wingrass 7.0.0 yesterdays nightly.

 Setting as a blocker for 7.0 release, as 1) it is ruining the first
 impression about GRASS GIS and 2) it is trivial to fix.

 mmmhhh, just thinking more about it:

 after installing the winGRASS-standalone on a fresh box, there should be
 the AppData/Roaming?/GRASS7-folder, because the winGRASS-standalone
 installer should do it for you, see:

 please test/see if installing winGRASS7 standalone on a fresh box creates
 for you AppData/Roaming/GRASS7 folder!

 thanks

 I didn't try it on 'clean' machine but I removed the GRASS7 folder and
 demolocation in Documents/grassdata and everything was created and worked
 fine for me.

 Yes, it does. Still only for the user running the installer. I later
 created a new user and there was no AppData/Roaming/GRASS7 folder with all
 consequences. That explains why I observed it - in a computer lab
 installations are done by the administrator but students are using their
 normal user accounts. A small modification to the initial report, but it
 is still valid.

 Actually having a minimized CMD window has another downside - GRASS is
 printing error messages in the CMD window. Just observed with a new user -
 no GRASS7 folder (see the previous comment), CMD window is minimized and
 nothing happens - the reason: in the CMD is displayed an error message
 "... python.exe cant open ... grass70.py: permission denied ..." (that is
 the #2290) - still it displays why the simple proposal of Hellik in the
 1st comment would be a good idea.

 closing the ticket? as by r61277 and r61278 CMD isn't minimized any more.
