Did you also put the quotes ? If so, you shouldn't have. You should put 
exactly this at the end of the environment file:
HOME={APPDATA}/GnuCash

Note that the folders that were already created won't be removed. To avoid 
losing your preferences, you can move the folders from your home directory 
into %APPDATA%\GnuCash, whatever your APPDATA is referring to.
