Online resources indicate that Windows support was added for 2.2, so finding
Windows binaries before that may be futile. According to the wikipedia article,
that was in 2007.

I’d suspect if you walked a bit more slowly through the versions, you wouldn’t
get that message, but I can’t say that with certainty. Maybe the Tracefile has
more info. (see the wiki about finding the Tracefile on your system)
So you might have to step back from the original copy through the

Just because I was curious and had time on my hands, some digging into git
looks like the binary file support was removed sometime during the development
of 2.2, so the 2.0 series looks to be the last version that would read the old
binary files. In case anyone is curious, here is the commit:

That first 2002 file is indeed ancient. (the 2005 file is no spring chicken
either)
For both cases, you’d have to find the ’newest’ version of GnuCash that will
open each file, then upgrade GnuCash in steps (possibly some leaps skipping
bug-fix releases) and open each file with each version.
Hi!
I have been using gnucash for a very long time, and recently I tried
opening some of my first files -- but couldn't. Many old files worked,
but not these two and their related .xac files.
I see two different symptoms.
One file has an timestamp from 2002. I don't recognize the file
format,
