Problems using GnuCash 2.3.15 on Win7

[Hubert Bahr]

2.2.9 does not support mysql etc.  I am using the prebuilt version from 
the home page.  I am not building from scratch.  I am asking whether 
anybody else has experienced similar problems, or have this version 
running correctly under windows 7.  If not I will submit as a bug in 
2.3.15 so it will be corrected for 2.4
