Description majnoon 2008-12-18 23:16:03 UTC
Please describe the problem:
After installing the latest gnucash version, the application repeatedly and quickly opens and closes several dosboxes (the header reads "gconfd...") and after a prolonged period the application starts with an error message stating that some components may not have been installed correctly.
On the first attempt, the details read "failed to connect client to server's list".
After de-installing, reboot of the system an re-installing gnucash, the application behaved in the same way as before - only the details of the error message changed:
"Failed to contact configuration server; some possible causes are that you need to enable TCP/IP networking for ORBit, or you have stale NFS locks due to a system crash. See http://www.gnome.org/projects/gconf/ for information. (Details -  2: IOR file 'C:\DOKUME~1\MNH\LOKALE~1\Temp\gconfd-MNH/lock/ior' not opened successfully, no gconfd located: No such file or directory)"

I looked up the specified file location for further information, but there was no such file. There was'nt even a "gconfd-MNH" subdirectory.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Installing the latest version of gnucash (2.2.8 setup.exe)
2. running the application




Actual results:
see problem description

Expected results:
successful application startup

Does this happen every time?
affirmative
