Sounds to me that there is a fault in the downloaded install file. I 
suggest re-downloading the .exe file; checkg the hash code for accuracy 
of the downloaded file; and then installing the new download file.

Do not believe the Defender is problem.  Windows will ask if you really 
want to install the GnuCash install file.
All the best, nvsoar
