I can't execute gnucash --add-price-quotes myfile.gnucash from the data
file folder because gnucash.exe is not in that folder. That's why I have to
put the whole path in. At first I was trying to execute it from the
gnucash\bin folder (where the exe is located) but wasn't able to because of
the before mentioned error with "C". So I switched to call the exe from the
data file folder. That works fine now.
