Re: [GNC] Strange message on launching app
Thanks both, I have it sorted more or less, it remains to tidy up the various versions of the files that are in different locations on the PC. I used Revo Uninstaller Pro to uninstall the 'active' version, Revo is what I have used over the years to get rid of files which, inadvertently mostly, ended up on my PC, it does a great job of removing all sorts of trash which apps leave lying about. Even then it took Revo a while to sort out the stuff. In the end I have a reinstalled 4.4 with only a few recent transactions missing.

Re: [GNC] Strange message on launching app
Finbar,
I'm running GnuCash Version 4.4 on Windows 10 Pro.
I have a single GnuCash file, called Alan, which I store in a GnuCash folder
in my Documents folder, i.e. C:\Users\\Documents\GnuCash\Alan.gnucash.
Also in this folder are large numbers of Alan.gnucash.mmddhhmmss.gnucash
and Alan.gnucash.mmddhhmmss.log files, 30 days' worth controlled by the
setting in preferences. If GnuCash is open there is also an Alan.gnucash.LCK
file.
To minimise risk of loosing my data I have daily automatic backups of my
data, which includes my GnuCash files, to a NAS.
Under normal circumstances I have no problems, apart from occasions when
GnuCash complains that the LCK already exists when I start it which I can
usually tie up with GnuCash not having been closed correctly.
However, I do get some problems of my own making. When I new version of
GnuCash is released and I'm ready to install it. For example when I was
ready to install GnuCash Version 4.4 I used File -> Save As to save a backup
as Alan - Pre V4.4.gnucash, closed GnuCash, installed Version 4.4, restarted
GnuCash, and then ran Actions -> Check & Repair.
It's usually the next day when I release that I have a problem, as I'm using
the WRONG file. GnuCash remembers the last file it used, which in the above
situation is Alan- Pre V4.4.gnucash rather than Alan.gnucash.
Reading through your problems I suspect you've used File -> Save As at some
point and this has exacerbated your problems with files.

Subject: Re: [GNC] Strange message on launching app
OK, I found the GNU FEB 12 2019.gnucash file saved on 19.2.2021, but not the
others. Anyway if that is the "good" backup that should be OK? It only has
362kb in it.
As it happens the file wasn't in a GnucashLCK folder, there were two
files on 8.3.2021 with the same name and time and date, but in different
folders, one of which was empty and lots of other stuff on an around
that date.
The storage of GNU files has always been a bit of a mystery to me, they seem
to shuffle around, a search of files with .gnucash results in more than 600
answers!!
OK, if I uninstall and reinstall will it find the 'good' backup mentioned?
Thanks so much for your patience and help.

Re: [GNC] Strange message on launching app
That's probably not the file you want unless you haven't entered anything since
19 February. You had a lock on "GNU FEB 12 2019.gnucash.20210219151108.gnucash"
suggesting that might not be the case.
https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/FAQ#Basics:_Filenames.2C_Directories.2C_...
explains how GnuCash organizes your data files. If they're spread out over
several folders that's your doing, not GnuCash's.

Re: [GNC] Strange message on launching app
OK, I appreciate that, thank you.
However, in trying to find the last backup file before uninstalling, I
am finding some very strange file dates and times in the list.
For example - gnucash.trace.3JC5Z0.log - on 14.3.2021 - a time when I

I don't seem to have any backups, which according to the help file
should read as .MMDDHHMMSS.gnucash
The 'latest' file in the list is GNU FEB 12
2019.gnucash.20210219151108.gnucash.LCK on 8.3.2021 and I have several -

Re: [GNC] Strange message on launching app
The important thing is to make sure that you don't restore an old version of GnuCash dlls. The most straightforward way is to leave executables out of the backup plan because you can always download them again from their respective sources. A bit less simple is to have a separate backup set for them so that you can easily roll back after an update or restore more quickly after a disk failure.

Re: [GNC] Strange message on launching app
OK, I'll try that, thanks. I have the most recent version for Windows 10, afaik. Haven't recently downloaded any update and have been using the current version for a while, like since last q 2020. Could be a storage glitch, I suppose. Should I make a specific backup? I have backblaze for backup, but do I need to ensure files are the latest?

You don't say what version of GnuCash, but GnuCash 4.x renamed libgncmod-app-utils.dll to libgnc-app-utils.dll, so it seems that you have some leftover bits from an earlier installation. Try uninstalling GnuCash with Apps & Settings then delete the installation directory--it defaults to C:\Program Files (x86)\gnucash--before reinstalling GnuCash 4.4.
