Installation on Windows 10

[David Carlson]

Snarky,

It does seem very odd that GnuCash is unable to write to that folder.  Can
you save other documents to that folder?

I would recommend creating a special subfolder for GnuCash data files as
GnuCash will be creating a lot of temporary files in the same folder.
