I received no replies to this submission, but am still struggling with 
the issue.

I will appreciate anybody providing a copy of the command they 
successfully use with GnuCash 5.6 on any version of Windows.

I have since updated to F::Q 1.62, and am now using MarketWatch as my 
source.

When I run the command (run as administrator) with GnuCash 5.6, I get:


C:\Windows\system32>"C:\Program Files (x86)\gnucash\bin\gnucash-cli.exe" 
--verbose --quotes get 
file://C:/Users/KCBurns/AppData/Local/GnuCash/KCBurns.gnucash
Found Finance::Quote version 1.62.
Price retrieval failed: Failed to parse result returned by Finance::Quote.
Error message:
<unspecified file>(1): expected value
Result:


C:\Windows\system32>PAUSE
Press any key to continue . . .


When I run the same command with GnuCash 5.4 I get my quotes 
successfully updated.

Thanks for any help,
Ken
