Paras, The failure to install is probably down to the 5.4 problem of leaving the gnucash process running. The xmlIOFTPClose entry point problem is strange. It's optionally provided by libxml2 but MSYS-mingw doesn't build it in (neither does the macOS build). It's (also optionally) consumed by libxmlsec1, but again MSYS-mingw doesn't build with that option.
