Hi,
I was advised by [email protected] that this is a user-list question.
As the program did not open I could not access any trace file and there was
no Windows Event log.
Has anyone else had this issue and found a solution?
I was trying to back up my gnucash file from my Windows 10 laptop to my
Windows 7 desktop computer. Both have the latest version installed.
There was no option to run as administrator.
THAT is not a gnucash question. Are you saying that IF logged on as an
ordinary user you had no way to switch to administrator without logging
off and logging back in using your administrator name/password? Too long
since I last used Windows 7 for me to remember if possible or not..
Logging out and logging in as administrator should work. Mind as a
retired pro, I would normally expect to use that method, log out and log
in. More modern Windows versions support temporarily switching to
administrator to mimic the linux su command.
I don't think (can't remember) whether Win 7 was provided for 64 it.
