The problem lies in folders configuration in the provider options for GRASS. Both GRASS and MSYS paths are wrong and the MSYS folder is missing from the installer. Using the one that came with the LTR install do the trick.

Hello, bug triage...
I am sorry, I can't reproduce it on Processing GRASS7 (on Debian Stretch). Are you using GRASS6 in Processing ? Is there only a problem for v.transform or all algorithms are affected as well ?
To be sure I haven't forgotten anything, could you tell us what were all of the parameters (of v.transform) you have used to reproduce the bug ?

No, I'm using GRASS6's v.transform. I didn't tried GRASS7 but my guess It will be the same. i didn't use any other tool, but since I corrected the path in the provider option It may work.

I'll clean install 2.14 again to get the log

GRASS GIS 6 (enabled by default)
GRASS Folder: C:/PROGRA~1/QGISES~1/apps\\grass\\grass-7.0.3 (exists, but wrong version? - full path: C:\\Program Files\\QGIS Essen\\apps\\grass\\grass-7.0.3)
MSYS Folder: C:/PROGRA~1/QGISES~1/apps\\msys (does not exist)
Can not open v.transform
GRASS GIS 7 (disabled by default)
GRASS Folder: C:/PROGRA~1/QGISES~1/apps\\grass\\grass-7.0.3 (exists - full path: C:\\Program Files\\QGIS Essen\\apps\\grass\\grass-7.0.3)
MSYS Folder: C:/PROGRA~1/QGISES~1/apps\\msys (does not exist)
Can open v.transform
Looks like all GRASS7 tools are working, even without MSYS files. On the other hand none of GRASS6 are able to open without a valid MSYS folder.
I guess It's just a matter of setting up the default GRASS version (7) or totally remove GRASS6 from QGIS.

This is correct PATH, "PROGRA~1" is just shortened version of "Program Files". This how Windows usually handles names longer that 8 characters. Version also correct, as by default QGIS shipped with GRASS 7.

If I'm not wrong this can be closed, right? Reopen if necessary.
