[GNC] Issue Opening GnuCash in versions above 4.9 on Windows 11

[Kalpesh Patel]

Can you run following command in a command prompt and check info on that
file:

c: & cd \ & dir "libgdk-3-0.dll" /s

It should output as follows:

Volume in drive C is OS - WD SSD
 Volume Serial Number is 7266-A41F

 Directory of c:\Program Files (x86)\gnucash\bin

05/20/2022  03:21 AM         1,365,182 libgdk-3-0.dll
               1 File(s)      1,365,182 bytes

     Total Files Listed:
               1 File(s)      1,365,182 bytes
               0 Dir(s)  141,615,849,472 bytes free

c:\>

Afterwards get the permissions on it by going to the directory displayed on
as follows:

cd "c:\Program Files (x86)\gnucash\bin" & icacls libgdk-3-0.dll

It should output as follows:

c:\Program Files (x86)\gnucash\bin>cd "c:\Program Files (x86)\gnucash\bin" &
icacls libgdk-3-0.dll
libgdk-3-0.dll NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM:(I)(F)
               BUILTIN\Administrators:(I)(F)
               BUILTIN\Users:(I)(RX)
               APPLICATION PACKAGE AUTHORITY\ALL APPLICATION

               APPLICATION PACKAGE AUTHORITY\ALL RESTRICTED APPLICATION

It would be worth to see if that file exist after an uninstall. If it does
then it potential that that file is either corrupt or you don't have
privileges to access the file (hence I recommended renaming it after
uninstall in previous message).

Thank you for your suggestion. I am a novice, but I worked out how to view
the Windows logs and think this is the relevant part:

Sig[3].Name=Fault Module Name
Sig[3].Value=libgdk-3-0.dll
Sig[4].Name=Fault Module Version
Sig[4].Value=3.24.34.0
Sig[5].Name=Fault Module Timestamp
Sig[5].Value=00000000
Sig[6].Name=Exception Code
Sig[6].Value=c0000005
Sig[7].Name=Exception Offset

Does this mean I have to try and replace the highlighted dll?

Richard
