Hi David Carlson
The "getperl.vbs" script is a GnuCash file, not Strawberry:
https://github.com/Gnucash/gnucash-on-windows/blob/master/extra_dist/getperl.vbs
I am running GnuCash v4.8 on Windows 10 and it is located here:
C:\Program Files (x86)\gnucash\bin\
However, I recommend that you:
(1) Install Strawberry Perl directly from https://strawberryperl.com/
and not via GnuCash.
(2) Reboot.
(3) Confirm that Perl is working:
(3a) Command prompt
(3b) perl -v
(4) Install Finance-Quote from GnuCash, which uses the "gnc-fq-update"
Perl script also located in C:\Program Files (x86)\gnucash\bin\
Hope this helps.
Regards
Geoff

Thank you David. I tried the Install online price retrieval for GnuCash
script again and it still gives the error about the missing .vbs file. Do
you know how that file is supposed to be created?

David,
Seems like the StrawberryPerl web page is back up, suggest you give it
another shot.
Cheers David H.

I am trying to install Perl with the script in the GnuCash program folder
in Windows 10. I accidentally forgot to use administrator rights the
first time, repeated with rights, but it fails with error Input error:
Could not find script file "C:\Windows\system32\getperl.vbs".
I also found that the https://strawberryperl ... download page is
inaccessible, one needs to use a different route to download strawberry
Perl 5.32.1.1 32 or 64 .msi.
Can someone help me get out of this rabbit hole?
