gnucash 3.0 crashes opening accounts file

Hi, I just downloaded and installed gnucash 3.0 on my Windows 7 machine. When I start it the app window comes up, but after I select the accounts file in the file open dialog I get this error dialog. Any ideas? Cheers - P

Re: gnucash 3.0 crashes opening accounts file

I am not convinced that the issues reported in that bug are the same as what I reported. Also: they apply to older versions of gnucash, and I have only seen this issue with version 3.0. I have been using gnucash for years on both windows and (debian) linux with no problems. Cheers Patrick -- S

Okay - I might just build a debug version myself and run it up in Visual Studio - I don't know how much effort that is from cold, though I see from a quick shufti that the build requires 'mingw support scripts' - which doesn't inspire me with much confidence :-( P -- Sent from: http://gnucash.

Also, an 'ESIG.log' file is written to in C:\ at the time that gnucash crashes. It is in binary format. I can't find any info about it on the interwebs. Anyone know what kind of beast it is? CP -- Sent from: http://gnucash.1415818.n4.nabble.com/GnuCash-User-f1415819.html

Huh, the VB script to install gnucash devenv on windows fails silently, and the wiki web registration has a broken captcha link - problems problems problems! -- Sent from: http://gnucash.1415818.n4.nabble.com/GnuCash-User-f1415819.html ___ gnucash-user

Re: gnucash 3.0 crashes opening accounts file

It would be useful if debug builds were available on the automated build server. Then I could download it, run it get the crash and boot up visual studio to get stacktrace etc. -- Sent from: http://gnucash.1415818.n4.nabble.com/GnuCash-User-f1415819.html _

Re: gnucash 3.0 crashes opening accounts file

Thanks again again. I had not only to run powershell with administrator priviliges, but also type 'Set-ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted' before running the script. Perhaps script execution policy is restricted by default at my workplace for security reasons. -- Sent from: http://gnucash.1415818.n4.n

Re: gnucash 3.0 crashes opening accounts file

Hmm lots of errors running setup-mingw64.ps1 (see below). Perhaps the script needs modifying so it uses my work web proxy? I will have a look tomorrow. CP powershell output -- PS C:\users\pbyrne\Download

Re: gnucash 3.0 crashes opening accounts file

Thanks John - I expect puttingin proxy configuration won't be too difficult. I will have a look later. BTW I got the exact same crash running gc3 at home, opening the same accounts file. Perhaps it is related to the accounts file. I have been using gnucash for some years now, my file is 1.4MB in s

Hi Wes, The developers assure us in other recent threads that the virus report is a 'false-positive' ie not really a virus. The matter has been reported to microsoft so it should not be reported in the future. Regards Patrick -- Sent from: http://gnucash.1415818.n4.nabble.com/GnuCash-User-f141
