I'm finding myself going down a similar rabbit hole. After editing my funds (38 in all) to reflect yahoo_json as had been suggested elsewhere, I still couldn't get any quotes. I removed Strawberry Perl using both Windows Control Panel and File Explorer and then, for good measure, did a Registry scrub using a utility I've used successfully for years. I then reinstalled Strawberry Perl via the "Install Online Price Retrieval" utility which in turn installed F::Q 1.47 and tried once more to get quotes. Again, no success. This morning, I updated all items manually.
Since I've read that GNC 3.2 has the ability to import quotes from a CSV file, I guess I'll try that now. I've been reluctant to install any 3.x version because of the bugs that a new major version of any program exhibits even though I know that the Gnucash developers do a good job of sorting out such things. At worst, I can always go back to the 2.6.16 version for which everything I use (except F::Q) works fine.
