Windows seems to think it does. Perhaps gnucash is trying to load it and 
Windows just assumes failure is fatal.

On my system that file is in c:\program files\gnucash\bin and renaming it 
to .dlll results in the same error message the OP got when starting 
Gnucash.

My copy is dated 2012-07-15, which suggests it came with 2.4.11. It's 
around 600kB. I will email a copy to the OP on request - assuming this 
hasn't already been done by someone else and that the OP is prepared to 
trust me.
