Re: how to download

This is correct. It does not matter which link from GnuCash.org you click, you always get a .dmg if you click the link from Mac, a .bz if you click the link from Linux and an .exe if you click the link from Windows. (I suppose you could spoof the user browser’s agent as proof, but is that

I see the problem now. I was using Google Chrome and when I hit the white XP/Vista/7/8/10 link I got this screen from SourceForge: When I used Internet Explorer I got this screen: Don't know why I get 2 different screens but looks like Google Chrome isn't working too well with SourceForge.

I am used to the latter methd because it is similar to the way things worked in the old days when users frequently ftp'd files. David C On Wed, Mar 14, 2018 at 6:03 PM, David Carlson wrote: > As Colin noted, Source Forge does not appear to honor the /last part of >

Re: how to download

As Colin noted, Source Forge does not appear to honor the /last part of the link that is supposed to be pointing to the Windoze setup file if the user is coming from Linux. From Ubuntu it took me to a page that had a link to download the tarball under the green button. However, if I scroll down

The download link target you click on http://gnucash.org/ also differs depending on which OS you select to download if you come in that way Cheers DaveH. On 15 March 2018 at 08:35, Robert Heller wrote: > At Wed, 14 Mar 2018 17:51:28 -0400 Stan Brown

The green button may have been broken for a while in the last couple of days, but it worked for me when I first selected to download the windows version from the gnucash webpage then use the green button to download the setup file a few seconds ago. On Wed, Mar 14, 2018 at 3:31 PM, Colin Law

Re: how to download

Perhaps Mike has not seen the Source Forge webpage before. Just start from the website. Then select Download GnuCash. Select the version for your operating system. If it is Windows you get taken to the Source Forge download page. That shows a fancy list of folders

Re: how to download

I downloaded it from Filehippo.com. I can't see how to download from SourceForge.net. That site is terribly confusing. I looked at download.com from Cnet but they showed an older version of the program. I don't know what the sha256 is but here is a copy of the info in the "About" section of

Re: how to download

Mike, Be careful. It is generally not safe to download software from unofficial sources. SourceForge.net is the official source as Dave noted. What other site did you download it from? Regards, Adrien > On Mar 13, 2018, at 3:23 PM, Dave H wrote: > > I hope you understand

Re: how to download

I hope you understand now that's what is supposed to happen - that blasted SourceForge.net (NOT Sound Forge) is an official download site for GnuCash and many other applications. Cheers Dave H. On 14 March 2018 at 04:02, Mike Schliebe wrote: > Thanks for getting back to

Re: how to download

The site you should be taken to is SourceForge. There is a green download button about 1/3 down the page on the left that says “download latest version” with the exact name of the file underneath that label. (which will vary based on your OS which SourceForge tries to autodetect) If you don’t

Re: how to download

Mike, assuming you want the Windows version, all you have to do is click on the bright green with white text link that says (hope you're not colour blind either :-) "Download Latest Version gnucash-2.6.19-setup.exe (119.5 MB)" Cheers Dave H. On 13 March 2018 at 07:13, Mike Schliebe
