Re: [GNC] Gnucash.exe bootstrap error, image-missing.png: Unrecognized image file format (gdk-pixbuf-error-quark, 3)

[Hai Liang Wang]

hi, John

Some files are missing in C:\gcdev64\gnucash\stable\inst\share on my
machine, e.g. C:\gcdev64\gnucash\stable\inst\share\icons\Adwaita folder
does not exist.
Now I found a workaround, I copied  C:\apps\gnucash\share to
C:\gcdev64\gnucash\stable\inst\share.
C:\apps\gnucash\share is where I install GnuCash with the official
installer.

So far the gnucash.exe can be started and display the splash screen, I
would investigate the codes to find the real cause and solutions after
getting familiar with GTK.
I am going to read the GTK Development guide next, to learn more about how
GnuCash is written :-)

GnuCash is a great work!

Cheers.
Hai Liang W.
