Hi All,
Could you help me on this?
When i compile my mq4 file, the ex4 files will be saved to below location.
C:\Users\.....\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files\OANDA - MetaTrader\experts
As far as i understand, it should be saved to :
C:\Program Files\OANDA - MetaTrader\experts (after compiling, it doesn't show up in this directory)
why this happened? How do i change the directory?
You can open it with your MetaEditor if it is mq4 file
Uppercorner on the left choose 'File'
Go to 'Save as' and you can choose the right directory to where it has to be saved
after done so you can use compile
i have done so, i.e, Save As to C:\Program Files\OANDA - MetaTrader\experts.
However, after compiling, it still directs to C:\Users\.....\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files\OANDA - MetaTrader\experts
why the *.ex4 file goes to virtual store?

Yellow map with green arrow ===> you go directory up
Go back to last directory ======> blue circle with white arrow to left
making new directory =======> yellow map with star
This way you can choose where to save your files and make new directories

Is this standard procedure for anyone who is running W7 or Vista? - or this being suggested here only because the user is having problems?
Thanks
