On windows you'll need the double quotes around the .exe path because of the space in "Program Files"
i.e. "C:\Program Files\GnuCash\gnucash-cli.exe" -V --quotes dump nseindia RELIANCE OR you can also open a command prompt and change directory to C:\Program Files\GnuCash end then just run the command without the full path name i.e. gnucash-cli.exe -V --quotes dump nseindia RELIANCE Cheers David H.
