Windows Compilation Error: gconftool-2

[Tom Purl]

I'm trying to install GnuCash from source on Windows XP SP 2.  I get to the following point when I run install.sh in debug mode:

    [snip]
    qpopd
    ++ popd
    ++ qpushd /c/soft/gnucash/inst/etc/gconf/schemas
    ++ pushd /c/soft/gnucash/inst/etc/gconf/schemas
    ++ gconftool-2 --config-source=xml:merged:c:/soft/gnucash/inst/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults --install-schema-file apps_gnucash_dialog_business_common.schemas

At this point, an empty DOS command window pops up with the following title:

    c:/soft/gnome/libexec\gconfd-2.exe

The installation script seems to hang at this point.  I've waited over half an hour for something to happen twice, and it just hangs.

I don't seem to have a gconf.xml.defaults folder in my c:/soft/gnucash/inst/etc/gconf folder.  I only have a "schemas" folder there.  

I then copied the gconf.xml.defaults folder from a different location to that directory, and I got the following error when I ran install.sh again:

Is this a bug, or is there some mistake that I'm making?

Thanks!
