I am thrilled to see that you have finally been able to make GnuCash work
again!

I hope you are able to address the issue with your Windows machine that

look at what you needed to do to make VirtualBox run, since it should have
run on a windows host without any significant changes unless there had been
other conflicting changes made to the host.
