For background, I've been using GnuCash 2.6.16 on an HP desktop running
Win 8.1 and an HP laptop running Win 10.0 Home version.
I usually update quotes on the Win 8.1 machine, store the .gnucash
account file on Dropbox and then download/run that file to the Win 10.0
machine.
I do the reverse when I return from being out of town.
The same .gnucash account file and Finance-Quote 1.38 ran fine on both
machines until Yahoo did its thing on Nov. 1.
Yesterday I did the following on the Win 8.1 machine.
1) Got a free AlphaVantage API key
2) Set a new Environmental Variable for both User and System
(ALPHAVANTAGE_API_KEY=xxxxxxxx)
3) Removed the previously installed version of Perl from the machine
(including running a registry cleaner)
4) Installed Strawberry Perl 5.26.1.1 (downloaded
strawberry-perl-5.26.1.1-64bit.msi from http://strawberryperl.com/)
5) Ran "Install Online Price Retrieval" from the Start Menu which
successfully installed Finance-Quote 1.45
6) Opened GnuCash and used the Security Editor Tool to change the quote
source to Unknown -> alphavantage on all stocks and funds
7) Used Price Editor Tool to successfully retrieve new quotes (long
list, took 2+ minutes)
Today, I did the following on the Win 10.0 machine.
1) Used the previously acquired AlphaVantage API key to set a new
Environmental Variable for both User and System
(ALPHAVANTAGE_API_KEY=xxxxxxxx)
2) Removed the previously installed version of Perl from the machine
(including running a registry cleaner)
3) Installed Strawberry Perl 5.26.1.1 (downloaded
strawberry-perl-5.26.1.1-64bit.msi from http://strawberryperl.com/)
4) Ran "Install Online Price Retrieval" from the Start Menu which
successfully installed Finance-Quote 1.45
5) Opened the .gnucash account file from the Win 8.1 machine that was
saved on Dropbox yesterday
6) Used the Security Editor Tool to verify that the quote source was
already set to Unknown -> alphavantage on all stocks and funds
7) Used Price Editor Tool to attempt to retrieve new quotes
8) Got the message ("An error occurred while trying to...") produced
previously when trying to get quotes from Yahoo.
9) Got a new AlphaVantage API key and used it to change the
Environmental Variables
10) Used Price Editor Tool to attempt to retrieve new quotes and got the
same unsuccessful result
Any suggestions for a next step would be appreciated.
