is an indicator and cannot be executed

 

Hello,



I try to install an EA on an orher PC and I get this message of error : 2005.01.26 12:27:37    Expert 'Test EA' is an indicator and cannot be executed.

It works on my other PC, what can I do? I have the same problem with the sample EA, MACD sample and Moving Average of MT4.

Sometimes he message is :  executable file is corrupted. Please recompile it.



Thanks

It sounds like you have copied an Indicator to the experts/ folder or experts/scripts/ folder . . .  instead of experts/indicators/

No I have copied my expert on a text note, and put it on a usb key, a I have created a new EA on the other PC and paste the text.

Great . . .   what folder is your "New" EA in ?  and did you erase all the code from the "New" EA when you first created it ?
 

The new EA is in expert folder, not in indicator.

Yes I erased everythings before the copy.

Post the code and a screen shot showing the list of EAs and Custom Indicators in the Navigator tree . . .
 

I can't post the code sorry.

Say what part of the code you are interested by.

The list of EA and indicators is simply the list of EA and indicators we get at the intalation of MT4 plus an EA call Test EA, because I just instal it.

1.  Say what part of the code you are interested by.

1.  the part before start()

2.  if you don't want help then that is OK.

OK,  I can't see a problem.  The only thing I can think of now is that it is some kind of UAC issue,  is this MT4 running on Vista or Windows 7 ?  and is it installed in Program Files ?  if it is then you may want to try installing in a directory other than Program Files,  for example,  C:\MT4Installs\
 

MT4 is on vista, on the 2 computers and in Program Files on the 2 computers too.


I try....
