Please Help: Osascript Crash

[David T.]

If I recall correctly, the OP said they were a) new to Mac and b) were double-clicking on the Gnucash.app icon in the DMG file.

I suspect the OP needs to drag the app file into his Applications folder and try running from there. It sounds like it's trying to link into the dmg.
