how to edit exchange rate of the Placeholder account

[Rafferty Uy]

Hi Derek,

I'm trying to follow the instructions in:
http://www.gnucash.org/docs/v2.0/C/gnucash-guide/invest-stockprice1.html#invest-stockprice-auto2

Was I right to download and install Active Perl first? Then attempted to
install the gnc-fq-update by typing "perl gnc-fq-update" on the command
line.

I am getting a lot of errors after running this. The last part of the
installation shows me the error below:



The required 'nmake' executable not found, fetching it...
Fetching 'Nmake15.exe' from download.microsoft.com... done!
Checking if your kit is complete...
Looks good
