Hi Megan
Glad to hear you had a successful outcome.
The difference in results is explained by the fact that I ran the
powershell installation script first - even though it failed at the end,
it did successfully install most of the necessary modules. Hence your
24 vs my 1.
So you are good to go - happy GnuCashing!

Geoff - you little beauty bottler!!! YAY! it worked.
I assume you edited the results to the bare minimum in your instructions?
I am glad that my issue could be reproduced but sad that it requires a fix!
I could not decide whether I had to add all 3 installation commands at
once or one at a time and tried first off all 3 at once...
====>>> >cpanm install Module::CPANTS::Analyse --force
2 distributions installed
====>>> >cpanm install Test::Kwalitee
1 distribution installed
====>>> cpanm install Finance::Quote [which I had to start with an
'enter'
24 distributions installed
So, "install Finance::Quote" was different to your results as your
example indicated "1 distribution installed" rather than the 24
distributions I had.
I used Tools/Security Edit to check that I could select the investments.
No errors reported this time around and the 'Get Online Quotes' was
selectable, which I did, and then Multiple/ASX.
I ran the Get Quotes and there they were!
However, I did receive some error messages as though the stock was not
available on the ASX list to be updated, but that is an issue for
another thread!
Many thanks to you, and to Stephen, as I am now more comfortable using
GnuCash... No doubt you will see me back on the threads with another
curly Australian-based query!
And to R.Losey for their comments.
I am finding it easier to navigate through the morass of memories of
Quicken and translating those memories to my efforts of learning the
many benefits of GnuCash!
Not having to do that currency translation through PayPal is helping
immensely!

Hi Megan
Well, this must be frustrating for you. I did a clean install on a new
Windows 10 machine, can reproduce this problem, and have a fix for you
to try.
When I ran the GnuCash powershell script "gnc-fq-update.ps1" to install
Finance::Quote, it ran for a long time (approximately 1/2 an hour) and
failed at the end with:
========================================================================
Building and testing Spreadsheet-XLSX-0.18 ... OK

! Installing the dependencies failed: Module 'Test::Kwalitee' is not
installed, Module 'Module::CPANTS::Analyse' is not installed
! Bailing out the installation for Finance-Quote-1.62.
29 distributions installed
========================================================================
To rectify this, open up a DOS Command prompt and run the following
three commands:
cpanm install Module::CPANTS::Analyse --force
cpanm install Test::Kwalitee
cpanm install Finance::Quote
The output should look something like this:

Then start up GnuCash and you should now be able to select "Get Online
Quotes" when you set up a new security - see attached screenshot:

Hope this works for you.
