Multi Currency accounts with Windows

[whwtan]

Wow, so you guys are using Windows with Finance Quote no issues?

I am experiencing the dreaded Finance Quote bug.

All the searches I have done pointed me to some update for Finance Quote 
patch which I could not for the world of it figure out how to implement. 
(Attempting to edit the actual Quote.pm file just can't work...maybe 
it's a permissions issue.)

To Michi:
Download ActivePerl from from ActiveState. It installs fine for me. 
[Just doesn't work though...]

[BTW, this is pretty much what's stated in the guide or the manual...]
The procedure I did was.
1) Download ActivePerl from ActiveState website
2) Install ActivePerl
3) Install Finance Quote using the shortcut in your start menu in 
GnuCash called "Install Online Price Retrieval"

I hope it works out for you because although everything installed 
without a hitch for me, it failed to load currencies properly. [i.e. It 
has become useless to me except that ActivePerl is now stealing my 
system resources. *laugh*] The error message and the research I did to 
try to get it working pointed that the quote.pm file is outdated in 
scrapping the information from Yahoo's site but I have been completely 
stumped as to how I can update Finance Quote to the latest version.

Warmest Regards,
William
