After trying to download, I get that message. Using Sourceforge. No
trying to install message, just the one already reported, using Admin.
On Win 11.
Just now, trying to follow the advice about 'unblock' I am getting a
hang (with the circled green 5) waiting for download to start.

Windows?
Is this *after* downloading and trying to install, or will it not even
download? If it won't even download, what site are you downloading from?
If after the download, and you are getting the message trying to
install, even after approving the install or entering an Admin password:
Win10 (and likely 11) can 'lock' an .exe file from running to install
an app if it has a false detection, or even for some random downloaded
files. (I have this issue with Betterbird e-mail client every time,
but only on one machine)
The solution is to right-click the downloaded file, choose
'Properties' and then check the 'unblock' box near the bottom and
close the Properties dialog.
Then you can double-click the gnucash.exe installer and it should
work. (you may still get asked to approve the install and/or have to
enter an admin password, but it will work this time.)
Regards,
Adrien
