[GNC] Version 3

[John Ralls]

That means either that it started up and ran without any errors or that it crashed before it could generate any output.
Of course it also means that the one from 17 April isn't going to be of any use.

First, try installing https://code.gnucash.org/builds/win32/maint/gnucash-3.0-2018-04-17-git-3.0-75-g87f94abc8+.setup.exe.
If it still crashes, open a shell window (command or powershell is fine) and run
"c:\Program Files (x86)\gnucash\bin\gnucash.exe" --debug

That will dump a lot of progress information that may help identify the problem. There may also be some output to the shell window that indicates the problem.

Regards,
John Ralls

Since I properly closed the file before I upgraded I click on "open anyway". After some delay a box appears named Microsoft C++ Visual Runtime Library. It says
