It is a bug indeed that gnucash on Windows attempts to access a file that's 
only available on linux.

However in this case don't bother submitting a bug report. This particular bad 
behaviour has already been eliminated for the upcoming 3.0 release.

Glad you were able to resolve your write issue.  Why your AV is that
sensitive, I am not sure.  Did you have to whitelist all the other programs
that you use regularly?

Anyway, your comment about GnuCash doing unnecessary things like repeatedly
asking for random numbers in Windows is interesting.  I wonder if a
developer would suggest creating a bug report for that.

Re: Installation on Windows 10

[Ronal B Morse]

Did you install GnuCash using the same user account as you are using 
now?  Or with an Administrator account?


If you installed GnuCash while logged in as an administrator or 
different user GnuCash may not have the correct permissions to access 
the directory in which the data file is located even though you do.


I wish I could offer some specific things to check, but the Windows file 
protection schema is opaque to me.

Snarky,

It does seem very odd that GnuCash is unable to write to that folder.  Can
you save other documents to that folder?

I would recommend creating a special subfolder for GnuCash data files as
GnuCash will be creating a lot of temporary files in the same folder.

Try run in gnucash as administrator by right clicking on the icon and
selecting "Run as administrator"

What does that do?

Can you save other documents such as spreadsheets to that folder?  Is there
plenty of free space on your C: drive (like several GIG's)? is this machine
owned by someone else such as your employer?
