GnuCash 2.1.2 directions

[Wm Stewart]

Good problem solving - however two issues:

   * You used V2.2.1 whereas I used V2.1.2.

   * In the middle of my GNUCash installations it stopped while my firewall
asked for permission for "gnucash-bin.exe" to access the IP.  If refused
the installation continues but the problem reoccurs, and if allowed the
installation continues and the problem goes away.

In other words, this might not be a virus, but it is definitely happening,
it was replicated by me and Manuel, and it is somewhere in gnucash-bin.exe.
 Can you try again on a new Win XP box, but with V2.1.2?
