RE: ANNOUNCE: GnuCash 3.0 Released

[pjlbyrne]

Hi Wes,

The developers assure us in other recent threads that the virus report is a
'false-positive' ie not really a virus. The matter has been reported to
microsoft so it should not be reported in the future.

Regards
Patrick

Re: gnucash 3.0 crashes opening accounts file

[pjlbyrne]

Thanks John - I expect puttingin proxy configuration won't be too difficult.
I will have a look later.

BTW I got the exact same crash running gc3 at home, opening the same
accounts file. Perhaps it is related to the accounts file. I have been using
gnucash for some years now, my file is 1.4MB in size - is that considered
large?

Anyway it means I can debug it at home now, when I have the time.

Regards
Patrick

Hmm lots of errors running setup-mingw64.ps1 (see below).

Perhaps the script needs modifying so it uses my work web proxy?

I will have a look tomorrow.

Re: gnucash 3.0 crashes opening accounts file

[pjlbyrne]

Thanks again again. I had not only to run powershell with administrator
priviliges, but also type 'Set-ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted' before running
the script. Perhaps script execution policy is restricted by default at my
workplace for security reasons.

It would be useful if debug builds were available on the automated build
server. Then I could download it, run it get the crash and boot up visual
studio to get stacktrace etc.

Huh, the VB script to install gnucash devenv on windows fails silently, and
the wiki web registration has a broken captcha link - problems problems
problems!

Also, an 'ESIG.log' file is written to in C:\ at the time that gnucash
crashes. It is in binary format. I can't find any info about it on the
interwebs. Anyone know what kind of beast it is?

Re: gnucash 3.0 crashes opening accounts file

[pjlbyrne]

Okay - I might just build a debug version myself and run it up in Visual
Studio - I don't know how much effort that is from cold, though I see from a
quick shufti that the build requires 'mingw support scripts' - which doesn't
inspire me with much confidence :-(

Re: gnucash 3.0 crashes opening accounts file

[pjlbyrne]

I am not convinced that the issues reported in that bug are the same as what
I reported. Also: they apply to older versions of gnucash, and I have only
seen this issue with version 3.0. I have been using gnucash for years on
both windows and (debian) linux with no problems.

Cheers
Patrick

gnucash 3.0 crashes opening accounts file

[pjlbyrne]

Hi,

I just downloaded and installed gnucash 3.0 on my Windows 7 machine. When I
start it the app window comes up, but after I select the accounts file in
the file open dialog I get this error dialog.

 

Any ideas?

Cheers - P
