Description Yoel 2009-08-14 01:29:30 UTC
I installed GnuCash 2.3.3 from the binaries for Windows. The installation went well but when I run the program it doesn't show anything. There are two processes running: gnucash-bin.exe and gconfd-2.exe but nothing happens. 

I was using version 2.2.9 without any trouble.

Comment 2 C. Dyck 2009-08-16 13:38:07 UTC
I can confirm similar behavior in r18253

gnucash-bin.exe and gconfd-2.exe are created but exit after a few seconds.
(The Tip of the day window is shown and some loading is done)

The stacktrace is pretty small, I paste it in the comment

---------------------
This GDB was configured as "i686-pc-mingw32"...
(gdb) run
Starting program: G:\Programme\gnucash-svn\bin/gnucash-bin.exe
---Type <return> to continue, or q <return> to quit---

Program exited with code 02.
(gdb) backtrace
No stack.
(gdb)
---------------------

I attached a zipped csv file from Process Monitor perhaps I can help finding the bug.
Comment 3 David 2009-08-19 16:40:10 UTC
I face the same behavior (on Vista).
The problem is explained by bug 592185 :

if I remove the datasource (drop database) and trying to start GnuCash, GnuCash fails on startup 
but if I recreate the datasource (may be empty, just create database) and trying to stat GnuCash now, it runs without any trouble

the cause of this problem is in bug 592185
