Gnucash Windows Vista install problem (gconfd-2.exe Entry point notfound (still need help)

[Sebastian Held]

Lets clarify one important thing: You are talking about installing, but I 
recommended to copy the whole gnucash tree.

I now assume you are trying to start gnucash when this error appears. This is 
due to the same problem with environment variables. The path variable is set 
correctly inside the gnucash.cmd script, but there may be another variable 
getting in the way.

Please provide the following information:
- edit c:\program files\gnucash\bin\gnucash.cmd
- insert the following line in front of "start gnucash-bin"
set
- now start a command windows (cmd.exe) and execute
c:\program files\gnucash\bin\gnucash.cmd

The set command will list all known environment variables. Please post them, 
that we can a clue what's going wrong here.

I guess we need to unset a variable which is not used by gnucash, but changes 
the search path. I'm not aware of a convenient method on windows to start with 
a sane environment.
