Description jakegraft 2015-10-04 23:56:36 UTC
Just installed 2.6.8

When attempting to create a new file (XML) Pressing the Save As button locks up gnuCash.  Must red-X close gnuCash.  

Trace File says:
* 16:01:16  WARN <gnc.app-utils> Could not spawn perl: Failed to execute child process (No such file or directory)
* 16:01:16  WARN <gnc.backend.dbi> [gnc_dbi_sqlite3_session_begin()] Sqlite3 file T:\Home\gnucash\Test2.gnucash not found
* 16:02:01  WARN <Gtk> Could not find the icon 'gtk-file'. The 'hicolor' theme
was not found either, perhaps you need to install it.
You can get a copy from:
	http://icon-theme.freedesktop.org/releases
* 16:02:13  CRIT <GLib> g_utf8_to_utf16: assertion 'str != NULL' failed

I installed 2.6.7 and tested importing from Quicken in Test2 file.  All worked.  I then installed 2.6.8 and tried to create a new file for my 'real' import.  Could not save the new file.

I copied back the Test2 file and was able to open the Test2 file in 2.6.8.  Then tried to create a new 'real' file in 2.6.8 and had the same error.

I am on Windows 8.1.

Thank you for all your help
