gnucash-user Digest, Vol 89, Issue 27

[David Halverson]

Glenn,

I'm running GnuCash 2.3.15 and it will only run on Windows with ActivePerl
5.8 or 5.10 - I installed 5.10.1.  Yes download it and double click on the
windows installer (.msi) file to install activeperl.

I'd also advise you to restart after installing activeperl before you run
the Start -> All Programs -> GnuCash -> Install Online Price Retrieval as I
think from memory I had issues with detecting activeperl until I restarted.

If you run Start -> All Programs -> GnuCash -> Install Online Price
Retrieval prior to installing activeperl I think it tells you that it's not
installed and also what version is required.

Cheers Dave H.

Hi, I didn't make myself clear enough on the inquiry.  The problem I have is
related to installing the ActivePerl software.  Do you just run the
ActivePerl download program,
ActivePerl-5.12.1.1201-MSWin32-x64-292674.msi<file:///G:/Program%20Downloads
/ActivePerl-5.12.1.1201-MSWin32-x64-292674.msi>,
and then follow the procedure Start -> All Programs -> GnuCash -> Install
Online Price Retrieval?

Sorry my message wasn't stated more clearly.

Glenn
