Hi Geoff, Thank you for your input.Following advice from Murugan, I created a Finance folder at the correct location and put a copy of the latest version of quote.pm into it. When I now run perl "C:\Program Files (x86)\gnucash\bin\gnc-fq-update", this is what I see in cmd: C:\WINDOWS\system32>perl "C:\Program Files (x86)\gnucash\bin\gnc-fq-update"Database was generated on Sat, 10 Dec 2022 08:13:54 GMTTest2 is up to date (1.302191).Date::Manip is up to date (6.90).Finance::Quote is up to date (1.5301). C:\WINDOWS\system32>
This looked promising, so I then ran "Install Online Price Retrieval for Gnucash" from the Start menu again, and this was the result: * Check Perl* Check Perl version* Install required perl modulesDatabase was generated on Sat, 10 Dec 2022 08:13:54 GMTTest2 is up to date (1.302191).Date::Manip is up to date (6.90).Finance::Quote is up to date (1.5301). * Check environment variable ALPHAVANTAGE_API_KEY *** *** You need an API key (from https://www.alphavantage.co) *** to run the Perl module Finance::Quote. *** *** Make it available to GnuCash by *** - setting the environment variable ALPHAVANTAGE_API_KEY or *** - starting GnuCash and adding the Alpha Vantage api key in *** Edit->Preferences->Online Quotes *** * Run gnc-fq-check You need to install the following Perl modules: Finance::Quote Use your system's package manager to install them,or run 'gnc-fq-update' as root.missing-lib An error occurred, see above. It appears that these two are returning conflicting reports, so I'm now wondering whether I should uninstall Strawberry perl again and reinstall it, but I'm also wondering why it didn't fully install in the first place.

I suggest that you try to install it again. The installation can be a bit fiddly as there are a number of dependencies, and some modules take a while. You can do this with the GnuCash installer. Open a command prompt as administrator and type:- perl C:\Program Files (x86)\gnucash\bin\gnc-fq-update Or directly by downloading from here:- https://metacpan.org/pod/Finance::Quote Good luck!
