[GNC] Installing on Windows 10 (with Defender)

[D.]

David, 

Gnucash doesn't use an MSI file. It's an EXE. 

Unfortunately for Peter's brother in law, I cannot help, since my Windows 10 installation was without complication.

I am assuming your brother-in-law took the easy route, downloaded and tried
to install the .msi version.  Perhaps the Windows Defender interference
messed up the install .  The usual advice for Windows is to use the Windows
Control Panel Program removal feature to remove the GnuCash program,
download a fresh copy of the Windows version from the website, then, since
Defender caused a problem, disable it before running the installation
again.
