I think the issue is the lack of a .gconf(d) directory on a fresh install..

A fresh install of 2.5.6 crashed right after launch, only showing the "Tip of the day" and splash screen for a very brief moment. The Trance file only contains "* 22:49:57 INFO <gnc.engine> [gnc_hook_lookup] no hook lists" when launched with the --debug flag. I tried running the program with gdb, but the debugger crashes :/ (I still have the log output, but I don't think it's of any help) Uninstalling 2.5.6 + removing gnucash related dirs in %USERPROFILE% + reboot + re-install doesn't seem to help. Doing a upgrade from 2.4.13 to 2.5.6 however seems to resolve the issue! BTW: As you can have only one version of GnuCash installed and I wanted to keep working in 4.3.12 I've set up a VirtualBox VM (Win7 Ult. x86) to test this. Same problem occurs in a WinXP VM. But using ProcMon I was able to see what gnucash.exe was trying to do right before crashing: CreateFile | C:\Documents and Settings\User\.gnc-migration-tmp\migrate-prefs-user.scm | PATH NOT FOUND CreateFile | C:\Documents and Settings\User\.gnc-migration-tmp | NAME NOT FOUND I've put up the complete ProcMon log here: http://dump.rdbnn.nl/gnucash/GnuCash-Logfile-002-csv_crashreporting_removed.zip(zipped csv) http://dump.rdbnn.nl/gnucash/GnuCash-Logfile-002-pml.zip (zipped pml, native ProcMon file format) I hope this info is of some help.
