Finance::Update

[Mike Asplin]

For anyone with same error installing Active Perl in Windows 7 the answer
would appear to be you can't use "run as an administrator" from a
non-administrators account to install Active Perl.  I uninstalled and logged
in to the administrators account then installed Active Perl and ran the
"install online price  retrieval" and it says it has all been installed
correctly.

Next stop is to try the price retrieval

No, version 5.10 should be fine.  However it might not be in the default
search path environment?

I don't know how to fix that, I'm afraid.  I don't use Windows.
