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

[Kalpesh Patel]

Use certutil to get a hash and compare it with a known good copy. 

Here is MD5 in Windows for the version of libgdk_pixbuf-2.0-0.dll that I
have on Windows 11 :

c:\Program Files (x86)\gnucash\bin>certutil -hashfile "c:\Program Files
(x86)\gnucash\bin\libgdk_pixbuf-2.0-0.dll" MD5
MD5 hash of c:\Program Files (x86)\gnucash\bin\libgdk_pixbuf-2.0-0.dll:
bcf374905e293167e7b25b766c09a64d
CertUtil: -hashfile command completed successfully.

c:\Program Files (x86)\gnucash\bin>

Ah true, I forgot. And more than likely, the recommendation would be to try
v4.12 to see if the issue is resolved.

As for dll damage. Windows has the System File Checker. But I think that is
only for stock files. I'm not sure it works for 3rd party software.

I'd say the easiest route would be a full un-intstall and re-install of
GnuCash, but I think Richard has already done this a few times to no avail.

Regards,
Adrien
