Well, you don’t have an error message, so that suggests you completed the request. 

That window that you can close is the comm status window, not the aqbanking setup window.

If you look in the aqbanking setup dialog, there is a Users tab and an Accounts tab. Have you looked to see if anything has shown up in the Accounts tab?

Martin (author of aqbanking) does just fine with English queries on the aqbanking mailing list. And he’s the best authority on aqbanking operation. Occasionally the gnucash interface with aqbanking throws in a couple curve balls, but he’d probably still know how to proceed.
