I found it in "Norton Security->security history->recent
history->quarantine->...->Create Exclusion and restore", and restored it with
exclusion, dismissed the dialog the second time that might have been before the
exclusion is established so it failed the first time, did run as administrator,
and it installs OK.

I reported it but have not had this in the past (new filter?) and am not sure
how to override this yet!

Norton says it contains a trojan, quarantines the win version.
https://bugs.gnucash.org/show_bug.cgi?id=799709 reports the same issue from
Avast. It just means that it’s not signed (because it’s hard and expensive for
individuals to get Windows code signing certificates) or that Norton doesn’t
trust the signing certificate holder (so even if we did code-sign it it
wouldn’t do any good). The long-term solution is for users like you to report
it as a false positive, instructions at
