You may try to create a .bat file like:

set LC_NUMERIC=en
C:\path\to\gnumeric.exe



Also if the above doesn't work, you might try to create an environmental
variable called LC_NUMERIC with value en  or C

Beware that general env vars might affect other apps too.



You could also experiment with the LC_ALL variable in case LC_NUMERIC
doesn't do what you want.
