You could leave windows without leaving windows
Gnucash (please note that this is the correct name, not "gnu") runs on
other operating systems. I'm not proposing that you buy a Mac, but
thinking of you installing a Linux version in a virtual machine,
putting Gnucash on that, copying your data over and using that.

It does sound like a lot of work, but you have already spent many hours
trying to get things usable.

That is about to the ofx backend. I see no relation to the paypal backend.

Re: [GNC] entry point error after recent automatic windows 10 update

[Derek Atkins]

Hi Lauren,
Sorry you are having these issues.
I presume you are installing the official gnucash package that you 
downloaded from the links off www.gnucash.org?
Can you manually uninstall what you have installed, download the package 
again, and reinstall it?
As others have said, there are many happy windows users, so it sounds like 
something got corrupted on your system.

A full uninstall and reinstall should correct that.
Good luck!

Hi Laurel,

By "old version of gnu" do you mean an old version of the GnuCash 
application? Have you got two different versions of GnuCash installed at 
the same time? Not sure if this is possible at all but if this could 
probably cause issues...


Or did you just mean opening an old version of your data file?

a) Not knowing how to find your gnucash data file(s) is a different 
problem. More related to being able to use Windows tools. If we told you 
extremely likely that the name of your gnucash file(s) ends with the 
file extension .gnucash do you know how to use Windows Explorer to find 
such files? In other words, if you don't know how to ask Windows "show 
me all files ending in .xyz" your problem is not specific to gnucash.


b) A desktop shortcut not working is not the same as program not 
working. Referring to "a" above, are you able to find the file 
"gnucash.exe" on your computer. What happens when you click to open that 
file? If that opens gnucash for you, do you know how to create a 
shortcut to that on your desktop. Again, those are "using Windows" 
matters, not gnucash matter.


Michael D Novack

PS -- I am NOT wanting to appear snide, just that your problem may be 
more "needing to have using Windows support". Do you have, for example, 
a "Windows 10 for Dummies" book?  (or one for whatever version of 
Windows you are using). Please note that my wife would be helpless in 
the same situation you are reporting. She. for example, could not use 
explorer to find a file or create a shortcut to something. Luckily she 
has a resident support person.

There's one in that location on v2.6.21 though, which suggests perhaps an 
issue with a report designed to run under an older version that needs 
reconfiguring for 4.2.

Re: [GNC] entry point error after recent automatic windows 10 update

[Greg Feneis]

Perhaps if GnuCash could be started by navigating to the actual
executable file and double clicking on it.  This would bypass concerns with
failed file associations, broken shortcuts, etc.  If successful, at the
very worst, it should start and complain that it can't find the working
file it used to know.

EG: My GnuCash 2.6.21 installation is found by opening windows explorer and
typing this into the address bar.
C:\Program Files (x86)\gnucash\bin (then press enter)
In the list of files that shows up, I can see gnucash.exe  If I double
click on this file's icon, GnuCash starts and runs.
My GnuCash version is several updates old, so Laurel's may be in a slightly
different place. If she could find it, she could start the program directly
from the executable and let us know what happens.
Failing that, Laurel may be able to navigate to the same location via
command prompt and start GnuCash with debug logging enabled in some verbose
fashion.  Someone else will have to chime in with details on whether and
how it's possible.


Kind regards,

Greg Feneis

Re: [GNC] entry point error after recent automatic windows 10 update

[Tony Vanson]

Have you tried Greg's suggestion? An easy way to check if GnuCash starts
from the command, copy and paste the following into the Windows 10 search
box (the magnifying glass icon on the bottom left of your screen)
"C:\Program Files (x86)\gnucash\bin\gnucash.exe" (without the quotes). This
will bring up the GnuCash executable. which if you double-click on it will
start GnuCash - or not.

I have tried that, and it doesn’t start up.  Disappointed...

Thanks for the info and checking.

Re: [GNC] entry point error after recent automatic windows 10 update

[Tony Vanson]

Sorry to hear that. Does GnuCash actually become available? If so, maybe
try to right-click on the file and then select "Open" instead of
double-clicking it . Also temporarily disable any anti-virus you may have
installed ( some will not allow unknown executables to run). If none of
this works, I would have to assume that the installation is corrupt and
would need a fresh download and installation. Do you get any error messages
at all?
Cheers
