You don't mention whether you re-downloaded the exe or verified the
checksum. I'd like to verify that you have the correct files. The specific
files affected are the three files attached to comment #98 of the bug
report.
libORBit-2-0.dll at 327,168 bytes
libORBitCosNaming-2-0.dll at 18,432 bytes
libORBit-imodule-2-0.dll at 39,424 bytes
These files (with these sizes) should exist in your C:\Program
Files\gnucash\bin directory.

Could you confirm that these are the files you have on your installation? If
they are, then it appears that this bug still needs more attention. If not,
you can either re-download the installer or take the above three files from
comment #98 and use those.

Thanks,
Nathan
