I use the simple way on Windows. Go To the Start Menu and the Gnucash folder under "G" within it - click on "Install Online Price Retrieval for Gnucash", let it do it's thing. I use this whenever a new Finance Quote module has been installed and it works every time, also installs Strawberry Perl if required.
