[GNC] Session Error: failed to get_backend using access method "C"

[Geert Janssens]

Ok, this does look like a bug.

Just to estimate the scope, can you open the data file in gnucash from the command line ? That 
is, does
C:\tools\gnucash\bin>gnucash.exe /C/Users/*****/Downloads/gnuCash-test-2/
t14.sqlite3.gnucash
or
C:\tools\gnucash\bin>gnucash-cli.exe C:\Users\*****\Downloads\gnuCash-
test-2\t14.sqlite3.gnucash
work ?

Did this work in 3.x ?

Regards,

Geert
