Errors installing Online Price Retrieval

[Michael Seifert]

David - I forgot to mention that after letting it finish, it still shows
under security editor that "Warning: Finance::Quote not installed properly"
and all fields are greyed / disabled.

Derek:
I ran Install Online Price Retrieval from Windows 7 menu with 1) the
firewall disabled, 2) antivirus disabled, 3) ports 50000 - 63000 forwarded
in router, 4) install-fq-mods.cmd  on command line with admin privileges. 

The first group of errors which seem important are: 

robot/ua-get.t ........ 2/8 HTTP Server terminated
robot/ua-get.t ........ Failed 5/8 subtests
robot/ua.t ............ 2/7 HTTP Server terminated
robot/ua.t ............ Failed 5/7 subtests
local/autoload-get.t .. ok
local/autoload.t ...... ok
local/get.t ........... ok
local/http.t .......... 1/63
#   Failed test 'response code 404'
#   at local/http.t line 81.
#          got: '500'
#     expected: '404'


The full screen output is here: http://pastebin.com/GQXUM5VU

I uninstalled perl and tried it from scratch. Same result
My-pc is the computer name. 
I have xampp installed with apache as my server
Is this a localhost HTTP request? Is this something I may have configured in
my apache installation?

I found this conversation here:
http://gnucash.1415818.n4.nabble.com/Getting-prices-and-quotes-td4672791.htm
l  with very similar issues and no resolution.

Anything else I can try?

I presume your computer is named "my-pc"?

It sounds like there is a firewall installed blocking access to the
local system.  Try turning that off, or allowing self-access.

When I updated to release 2.6.5 for the first time in Windows 7  I
needed to re-install online price retrieval including Strawberry Perl,
which I did from the Windows Gnucash start menu.  When I did that there
was a lot of console output including many error messages and a couple
of pauses where it asked me to press any key to continue.  I just
pressed a key and let it do it's thing, and after it was done I tried it
and it worked just fine.  I think it even found enough of my previous
settings for online account access to run the setup wizard to
re-activate that stuff, although I choose not to use that part.

Therefore, I ask you, did you let it finish and try it to see if it
works?  If not, please do that then come back with an updated question.
