[GNC] Installing GnuCash Updates.

[Hoppo]

Hello Peter

I assume you are using Windows - you didn't say.

This issue is well-known and frequently discussed on this list.

I use Linux so don't have the problem.

The solution (as I understand it) is to:
1. Exit any instances of GNUCash that are running.
2.  Uninstall GNUCash
3. Delete the "gnucash" folder located in "C:\Program Files (x86)"
4. Install 5.14

Search this list if you still have issues.

A belated Merry Christmas & have a great 2026.

Cheers

H.
