OK, I appreciate that, thank you.
However, in trying to find the last backup file before uninstalling, I
am finding some very strange file dates and times in the list.
For example - gnucash.trace.3JC5Z0.log - on 14.3.2021 - a time when I
could not get the app to load, [with the same message as originally].
I don't seem to have any backups, which according to the help file
should read as .YYYYMMDDHHMMSS.gnucash
The 'latest' file in the list is GNU FEB 12
2019.gnucash.20210219151108.gnucash.LCK on 8.3.2021 and I have several -
https___bugs_gnucash_org_enter_bug_cgi_product=GnuCash files on the same
date, as well as several -
{7C5A40EF-A0FB-4BFC-874A-C0F2E0B9FA8E}_gnucash_doc_gnucash_README_win32-bin_txt
files dated the same date, 8.3.2021.
The file names don't seem to align with the help file data.
Any ideas?
Thanks Finbar

The important thing is to make sure that you don't restore an old version of
GnuCash dlls. The most straightforward way is to leave executables out of the
backup plan because you can always download them again from their respective
sources. A bit less simple is to have a separate backup set for them so that
you can easily roll back after an update or restore more quickly after a disk
failure.

OK, I'll try that, thanks.
I have the most recent version for Windows 10, afaik. Haven't recently
downloaded any update and have been using the current version for a while, like
since last q 2020. Could be a storage glitch, I suppose.
Should I make a specific backup? I have backblaze for backup, but do I need to
ensure files are the latest?

You don't say what version of GnuCash, but GnuCash 4.x renamed
libgncmod-app-utils.dll to libgnc-app-utils.dll, so it seems that you have some
leftover bits from an earlier installation. Try uninstalling GnuCash with Apps
& Settings then delete the installation directory--it defaults to C:\Program
Files (x86)\gnucash--before reinstalling GnuCash 4.4.

Oops the screen grab didn't transfer -
"the procedure entry point gmc_scm_call_1_symbol_to_string could not be located in
the dll C:\programfiles(x86)\gnucash\libgncmod-app-utils.dll"

Sorry, sent this with the wrong email address.
A Windows message? Using W10, no recent change with Gnucash.
Needs task manager to get rid of the message.
