I have only seen the last two emails on this so I do not have all the replies available to me, however:
1. turn off your anti-virus - avast, windows, etc. 2. download 5.14 gnucash - if you get an infection notification there is still an antivirus app running. 3. run the 5.14 gnucash installation as "administrator" - right click the installation program and the option "run as administrator" will be on the menu. 4. turn on your anti-virus 5. power off your computer completely 6. reboot your computer hope this helps...
