Thanks to all the folks who have responded to this thread! I think I now
have a usable workaround for the inability to install multiple GC
versions in the same Windows computer.

My concern would be that GnuCash stores some data in the user's home
directory (reports; perhaps preferences), and there may be issues with
having the same user try to run three different versions.
Not some data but all data (it is the program, etc. that is in a
directory shared by all users)
I was just about to suggest snapshots when I read this reply. If you
want to stick with on OS for all machines, virtual or real and keep your
infrastructure simple - that's what I would do.
Of course, those snapshots will deviate by more than just GC if you
don't keep them all up to date regul

I guess I was either thinking of multi-boot systems or virtual machines
when I said different user space. If you use virtual machines, you can
have many machines in one computer, but that requires a very powerful
computer and lots of drive space to implement.

1. I'm on 2.6.19 now. I know conventional advice is to upgrade to the
last minor version of each major version in turn. Do I really need to
upgrade

I'm not quite clear on your other suggestion, "in a different user space
on the same computer". In Windows, the default location for installs is
some subfolder
Stan,
If you have the resources, I think that the safest migration path would be
to install the next level of GnuCash on a completely different computer or
in a different user space on the same computer, and try it out on a
separate test data file.
This avoids all the potential issues of cross co
