I downloaded GRASS GIS from this website： GRASS GIS - Home, and I choose winGRASS 6.4.3 standalone installer to download.

After I installed, I click on its icon： enter image description here

I can't launch it even though I have used 2 ways：

  1. just left-click the mouse
  2. right-click the icon and choose start as an administrator

can't launch means after I click the icon, the cmd icon shows up in less than one second on the windows bar below(even no windows come up), and then nothing comes up.

enter image description here

This really bothers me because I can't open GRASS!

I'm working under windows 8.1, is there someone using windows 8.1 facing the same problem like mine?

    Without error message it remains a black box... Could you start it from "cmd" to see if any error message is hidden from the "normal" view?

  • When I tried to start Grass GIS GUI, there is a message launching that "python.exe has stopped working". I am using windows 8.1. What can I do? Thanks

  • In general you need to install GRASS GIS as an administrator.
