Yes, it should work on Win7.

Look in the Start Menu for a folder named Strawberry Perl. If it's there then open it and pick "CPAN Client". You'll get a terminal window with a cpan>prompt. Tell it:

  install Date::Manip

and if that completes without errors

  install Finance::Quote

If they both complete successfully online quotes should work inside of GnuCash. If either fails or if the Strawberry folder is missing come back with details.
