The current release that I downloaded from the GnuCash website has
exactly the same build description.  I think NoNameA 774
did not build it himself.  My copy is working fine in Windows 7,
although I am not using sqlite.  My files are compressed XML.  The
compression/no compression test may still reveal something of interest. 
Perhaps he has some other program on his computer that has changed some
of the programs that GnuCash uses.
