I got this response from you on Dec 23, but nothing since.
Trying to download again from the same source today I didn't get the
message about insufficient permissions but when I tried to install it I
got a message from MS saying they could not proceed and straight away a
message from the Avast app to say they had found an issue, but on
researching in Avast I didn't find it.....????
Your advice [/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.]/ produced a file called download.htm and then
nothing
Any further advice? and a happy new year!!

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
