That solves the problem of the link on our page but there's still a SourceForge problem: When you visit any of the GnuCash pages on SF there's a big green download button. What download it points to is determined by the user agent string from your browser, and if that says you're running Windows it points to the latest gnucash-xxx-setup.exe. There's no reliable way for it to know what version of Windows you have. The same is true of MacOS: Someone connecting with a PPC Mac running 10.5 will get pointed to the latest Mac bundle, which won't work.
