The cmd.exe window might be OK, but the install.sh should continue after
a few seconds, of course.

That is correct. We just spawned gconfd-2 to register these schema files
into that directory.

What is your "different location"? Do you have a gconfd-2 running
already, is there some conflict with another installed package?

Hm. You might want to 'cd /c/soft/gnucash/build/lib/libqof/backend/file
&& make clean' and rerun install.sh.

There have been some recent changes, so removing c:\soft\gnucash\build
and \inst completely is probably an even better idea.
