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.
