I have done the following as instructed at https://portableapps.com/support/gnucash_portable
"The alternative is to install ActiveState ActivePerl on the host machine and run the script located at GnuCashPortable\App\GnuCash\bin\install-fq-mods.bat."
The script appeared to complete successfully and when I ran it again to check, I got the following:

with most of the rest of the window greyed out.
Grateful for advice of what to do now.
