<div dir="ltr">One thing to try is running Skrooge.exe from C:\KDE\bin where it was installed to.

<div>Hi, I'm moderately proficient IT-skills-wise and OS-installations but am now newly dipping my toes into Linux-type environment <img title="Glasses" alt="8-)" src="https://forum.kde.org/images/smilies/kde4/face-glasses.png"> by attempting to install Skrooge under Windows. I followed the Skrooge.org "Windows installation":<br><br>
<blockquote>
<div>Get the KDE on Windows installer<br>In the startup wizard, select "package manager" as profile<br>Pick up a mirror...<br>Select "stable latest" for the version. <br>Select Skrooge in the list of available packages<br>Install<br>Enjoy <img title="Smiley" alt=":)" src="https://forum.kde.org/images/smilies/smiley.gif"></div></blockquote><br><br>I followed KDE Installer for Windows - <a href="https://techbase.kde.org/Projects/KDE_on_Windows/Installation" target="_blank">https://techbase.kde.org/Projects/KDE_o ... stallation</a> (page last mod. 9 June 2013) - which appears to advise the canny installer to choose "C:\KDE4" rather than the "C:\Program Files" default on the screenshot, so I set up "C:\KDE". Likewise it appears to advise "C:\KDE4-tmp" rather than the "C:\Documents and Settings\Local Settings\temp" screenshot default, so I set up "C:\KDE-temp". Everything appeared to install fine. <br><br>Just one problem. <img title="Sad" alt=":(" src="https://forum.kde.org/images/smilies/sad.gif"> I found Skrooge.exe icon in C:\KDE\bin and copied it to desktop, but it doesn't work. The program QT Assistant does *appear* to work - but no other .exe programs in the bin directory do any more than open up a command line for a couple of seconds. The Skrooge program icon had not appeared anywhere else where I'd hope to find it, Desktop, Taskbar or Start Menu; nor is there any indication of Skrooge in Programs - unlike WAMP which I also installed on the C-drive. Neither could I find KDE4 nor Skrooge in programs to Uninstall. I tried just moving the folders out of the C-drive and reinstalling/uninstalling from the KDE installer. But I still get prompts for the C-drives I'd set up, and not the default prompts it had had originally.<br><br>I checked the Skrooge Windows installation:<br><br>
<blockquote>
<div>In case you can't get skrooge working by following the above procedure, you should check the following packages have been installed<br>qca<br>kdebase-runtime<br>kdelibs<br>sqlite</div></blockquote><br>and kdebase-runtime was not visible, either in my download folder C:\KDE-temp nor in the list of downloads possible when I reran the KDE install program to search for more downloads. I see it is available online but don't know if (a) it is still needed nor (b) how to install and integrate it if needed. More Linux basics no doubt <img title="Shocked" alt=":o" src="https://forum.kde.org/images/smilies/shocked.gif"> I think the Windows KDE installer prompts and tests page needs updating. So this is a request not just for me but for potentially many others too. <br><br>I liked the look of Skrooge particularly the multiple categorising facility, though I realized it might be an interesting learning experience <img title="Shocked" alt=":o" src="https://forum.kde.org/images/smilies/shocked.gif"> <img title="Smiley" alt=":)" src="https://forum.kde.org/images/smilies/smiley.gif"> . I've been using Quicken 2000 but cannot export as .csv only as QIF and even there I just hope it will work. I am just running a home business and would like to find something that is reasonably similar to Quicken in style of use. My hunch is that Skrooge should be a rising star - when Skrooge gets its installation under Windows straightforward. <br><br>All help gratefully received. </div></div></td>
