The GCM file is a GnuCash Metadata file.
It is not your data file, so you cannot open it.

Kari,
Do you use GnuCash standard file (XML) or do you use a DB program. When
you do a file open it defaults to file which is XML. If you used a DB,
after you did a File/Open, you would have the change the "Data Format" at
the top middle of the "Open" dialogue. I have never used a DB, so this may
be totally off the mark.
Thank You,

Subject: Re: [GNC] Entry Point Not Found error
Still struggling, but making progress! So I uninstalled gnucash 4.10,
rebooted, and reinstalled from a new download. Now the app starts and
seems to run correctly (I think I may have gotten a corrupted install file
via download). But when I run the app and choose FILE, OPEN and point it
at my backed up file June2022.gnucash.gcm I get an error "no suitable
backend was found for D:\Documents\gnucash\books\June2022.gnucash.gcm" I
know this file is good, as it works with older versions of Gnucash on a W7
PC. So I suspect it is a problem with using the new version app against an
old version file.
The word "backend" is only found once in the gnucash help, so I am at a
loss as to what to do next. I have tried to import, but there doesnt seem
to be any import function from older versions. Any help would be greatly
appreciated.

Kari,
You say you upgraded from an "ancient" version. I have seen
recommendations that users upgrade in steps , not a wholesale upgrade. I
would try uninstalling, then install the next major level, say 3.0. Try
that and if it lets you in, run "Actions/Check & Repair/Check & Repair
All". Then upgrade to v4.0 and repeat. Once this is working, then
upgrade to 4.1. Good Luck!
Thank You,

Subject: [GNC] Entry Point Not Found error
64 bit Windows 10 Home, I have been running ancient version of Gnucash, and
I updated to latest version, and when I attempt to run the app or double
click on the gnucash book, I get:
"The procedure entry point inflateValidate could not be located in the
dynamic link library D:\program Files\gnucash\bin\libpng16-16.dll"
Search brings me an unhelpful post from 5 years ago (
https://lists.gnucash.org/pipermail/gnucash-user/2018-June/077629.html )
but nothing else. How do I get gnucash running again?
