Discussion and Answer

That is an indication that the grep search utility is not installed, not in the path, or not working. Make sure you have a GNU compatible grep installed, such as from CygWin, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cygwin. Alternatively specify the RcsLite instead of RcsWrap in the configuration, which uses a native Perl search instead of grep. See also WindowsInstallCookbook and WindowsInstallSummary (both outdated)

Thanks Peter's suggestion, I checked config and it resolved after changing SearchAlgorithm from "forking" to "Pureperl" in "LocalSite.cfg" since there is no RCS installed there.
