Quotes

[Chris Good]

 Hi Mike (and anyone else having problems installing Finance::Quote),

I just updated my test Windows 7 PC (GC 2.6.1) Finance::Quote module to 1.20
using, as Erik suggested:

	In a command window (I didn't need to 'Run as administrator'):	

	cpan install Finance:Quote

I don't know if it matters but I initially thought Erik might have made a
typo and meant 'Finance::Quote' instead of 'Finance:Quote'. I used the
single colon and it works fine.

Actually, Erik suggested:
	type 'cpan install Finance:Quote' into the start window

I think that means: click on the Start button, then type the command where
it says 'Search programs and files'.
This is the same as typing the command in a 'Command Prompt' window.

My GC 2.6.1 system is now getting prices for Australian stock from Yahoo
fine.

I also updated my Windows 7 GC 2.4.11 system to Finance::Quote 1.20 using
the same method.
This was little confusing because I did have ActivePerl installed but
messages during the install mention ActiveState perl.
If anyone knows, are these the same???

My PATH doesn't seem to have changed. It still includes:
	E:\Perl64\site\bin;E:\Perl64\bin

Anyway, my GC 2.4.11 system is now also getting prices for Australian stock
from Yahoo fine.

You can check what version of Finance::Quote is installed by, in a command
prompt window:

	Select drive where GnuCash is installed (Mine is on drive E instead
of C):
		E:
	Change to the gnucash\bin directory that contains file gnc-fq-check:
		Cd \Program Files (x86)\gnucash\bin
	Type:
		perl  gnc-fq-check
	The first line output will show the version. E.G.
