Laurel,
If you haven't tried it already, Geert's strategy of deleting the complete
folder C:/Program Files(X86)/guncash before doing a reinstall from a fresh
download from the GnuCash website (with the antivirus turned off while doing
the download and install) is going to be worth a try as that
Thank you all for your help. I will find a way forward.

Perhaps if GnuCash could be started by navigating to the actual
executable file and double clicking on it. This would bypass concerns with
failed file associations, broken shortcuts, etc. If successful, at the
