[GNC] GnuCash Language

[Pedro Albuquerque]

Hello,

Liz, John, thank for your help.

Liz, I did a full search on the C: drive and found no other file.

John, I completely uninstalled GC using Revo Uninstaller, which also cleans
all the remains. I then searched the registry for 'gnu' entries and deleted
them all. I downloaded GC again, from the official website, obviously
(https://sourceforge.net/projects/gnucash/files/gnucash%20(stable)/5.16/gnucash-5.16.setup.exe),
and reinstalled it with all default values.

And that solved the problem. It seems GC doesn't like it when I put it in a
different folder. Maybe you can get a clue for how to prevent this from
happening.

Many thanks everybody, for your time and trouble.

Pedro Albuquerque
