While probably the easiest way, it's not recommended. It goes against the 
privileges separation that is encouraged in all modern operating systems.
A user should ideally never manually alter anything under c:\Program 
Files(x86) directly. That's the realm of installers.

And that's why an alternative approach was implemented as described  here:
http://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/
Custom_Reports#Load_the_report_from_a_user_account

I'm aware it's slightly more cumbersome as it's currently implemented.
