May I suggest the brother-in-law also join us here on the list? If a new user is getting stuck, they're likely to have more than this one issue before they're up and running. Kind regards, Greg Feneis (Pixel 3) On Mon, Aug 3, 2020, 09:14 David Carlson wrote: > The devil is in the details.

Re: [GNC] Installing on Windows 10 (with Defender)

The devil is in the details. The .exe in this case function s very similarly to a .msi, hence my confusion. Thanks to all for the correction. David Carlson On Mon, Aug 3, 2020, 10:42 AM GTI .H wrote: > Em seg., 3 de ago. de 2020 às 11:24, D. via gnucash-user < > gnucash-user@gnucash.org>
