Daniel — this is a known issue for some Windows installations. Interestingly, I am running Windows 11 with GnuCash 5.13 and have had no issues. But other Windows users (particularly those running on an unsupported chip or running an older Windows 10 installation) have reported this very issue.
I believe the development team is working on it. In the interim, if you are one of the unfortunate individuals who has this issue, your best bet is to go back to 5.12 for now until the issue is resolved. I hear they are close to a fix. BTW — I suspect (but an not sure) that it is a specific Windows permissions issue. Windows 11 has hardened the permissions and some of GnuCash's older components are not conforming to the new hardening rules. This maybe part of what is getting in the way (just a guess on my part).

I have run gnucash-5.13.setup.exe as Administrator, clicked Run Anyway after Windows Defender SmartScreen issued its warning, seen 5.12 being uninstalled and 5.13 placed in its folder as usual. I have added a Taskbar icon and tried to run gnucash from it just like I am used to and I see the two popups... gnucash.exe - Entry Point Not Found : The procedure entry point clock_gettime32 could not be located in the dynamic link library C:\Program Files(x86)\gnucash\bin\libstdc++-6.dll gnucash.exe - Entry Point Not Found : The procedure entry point pthread_cond_timedwait32 could not be located in the dynamic link library C:\Program Files(x86)\gnucash\bin\libjavascriptcoregtk-3.0-0.dll This is the first time I have seen these messages and a reinstall of 5.12 resolves the issue. Any clues? Cheers, Daniel. _______________________________________________ gnucash-user mailing list [email protected] To update your subscription preferences or to unsubscribe: https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user ----- Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.
