Hmm, interesting...

 

There should be no call to this dll during installation.

If your problem is really due to the installation process, please try to
copy the whole c:\program files\gnucash directory from your laptop to your
desktop (approx 250 MiB). Be sure to copy it to the same folder, as this
information is contained inside the gnucash start script.

 

Open regedit.exe on your laptop and export the key:

HKLM\Software\gnucash

Then import it on your desktop.

 

Now you have a gnucash installation on your desktop and should be able to
execute c:\program files\gnucash\bin\gnucash.cmd

 

 

I had a quick look at the distributed libglib-2.0-0.dll. The mentioned 

g_assertation_message_expr function is available in the dll. Your problem
is, 

that gnucash picks up a wrong dll from another directory.

 

btw. you are installing as administrator, aren't you? Vista uses some dark 

magic to turn programmers life into hell. To be really sure, that Vista 

executes s.th. with administrator rights, right click the file to open and 

choose "run as administrator".
