Dunno what you mean by Go > Applications, but if it runs immediately it's not copying. Open another Finder window, navigate to Applications in that, and drag Gnucash from the dmg window to that window. It should pause for a couple of beats then put up a little box showing progress as it copies the app bundle to the Applications folder. When that finishes, eject the dmg and launch GnuCash from the other Finder window.
