Description David 2016-09-11 04:49:49 UTC 
Currently, the Windows portion of this section reads:

Microsoft Windows:
Close GnuCash.
You need to have installed ActivePerl
Run Install Online Price Retrieval in the GnuCash “Start” menu entry.

Since the Install script handles checking for and/or installing Perl, it is not necessary to mention the Perl installation. (Additionally, the reference the "Start menu entry" is ambiguous to some users, so I have added minor changes there). Per discussion on the user list, recommend changing this to read:

Microsoft Windows. Close GnuCash. Run Install Online Price Retrieval, which can be found in the GnuCash menu entry on the Windows "Start" menu.

This problem has been fixed in our software repository. The fix will go into the next software release. Once that release is available, you may want to check for a software upgrade provided by your Linux distribution.
