GnuCash 2.1.2 directions

Perhaps you could test installation of 2.1.2 on a new Windows machine with
a firewall that traps outgoing connections as well as incoming? You are
right that there are a lot of connections to itself through 127.0.0.1 or
the machine IP, which I allowed, and the one external connection attempt.
On the tests I've done on two machines, denying the external connection on
GnuCash start-ups led to the error message, and once the connection was
allowed the error went permanently away. Interestingly, subsequent
repeated deinstalls and reinstalls failed to replicate the external
connection attempt or the error message on either machine, indicating the
issue occurs only on machines that have never had GnuCash previously
installed.
