Maybe that's all that is available.
Can you post the specific text of the dialog here? That may help in
determining what the issue is.
GnuCash does say it supports Windows 8. One possibility is that GnuCash
is built as a 64-bit application and you have a 32-bit version of
Windows. You can follow the instructions here to verify if you have a
32-bit or 64-bit version of Windows

I'm not sure if GnuCash for Windows is built as 64-bit only. Can
someone using Windows confirm this?
