[GNC] Discovered install link for Finance Quotes in Win11 app

[fromvendor]

I’ve experienced similar.  GnuCash doesn’t handle the drive reference (g:) so in your batch file/cmdline, do a cd first, then run the command without the drive reference.

I suppose there is a command to gracefully kill any running gnucash instance so it does not hit a lock file?  Of course, even with auto save, with a kill, you have to clean up the lock file, and the file may lose uncommitted transactions!  It'd be nicer for the running instance to run it at an appropriate time.
I shut down my instance and gave it a try from a WinDOS command line, but something goes wrong:
