It's not my code. I don't know where did you get this assumption. Probably from bad prediction.

Please   edit   your post . . .    please use the   SRC   button to post code: How to use the   SRC   button. 

 

This code compiles fine in my Meta Editor build 500,  do you have it saved in the correct folder ?  experts/indicators  ? 

 

Regarding directories - is it some new restriction? 

I've tried few different directories, also experts/indicators. I've tried other mql files - for example with ZigZag everything works fine. The button for Compilation is disabled if code listed above is selected.

I hope that renaming your extensions from mql4 to mq4 helps to solve the issue.

Maybe this is a UAC issue.  Install a test MT4 in C:\MT4Installs\broker_name  then copy your indicator to   C:\MT4Installs\broker_name\experts\indicators  open the  indicator  .mq4  file from there and try to compile it.
 

Hi,

 

since i can not find any reliable information via google I hope to get an answer here:

Has anybody made experiences with running MT4 (Version 500 or prior) on Windows Server 2012 (or Windows 8)?

AND has anybody made experiences with using birt's tick data suite on the newest Windows System?  

I plan to upgrade my VPS but wanted to know about compatibility of MT4 and the tick data suite before that.

 

Thanks a lot and regards! 

 

Disable dragging of trade-levels  in Mt4 :


There has been progress in this matter.

My ticket about it for the Service Desk  in mql5 website  disappeared.


Edit:  Just found a button besides my profile. Clicked on it and here it is

Support Team 2013.06.10 13:48
In next build will be added option to drag'n'drop trade levels only with pressed 'Alt' key.



This is great. It took a long time and I apologize for my sarcastic comment.

Now I am happy, I don´t need to modify my Visual Trade Management EA.

Service Desk did not answer, they just deleted my ticket.


I am calling this progress because about 3 weeks nothing happened.

Superior service from metaquotes.  Wow.

My ticket with the Service Desk still exists and hasn't been answered,  I suggest you raise your Service Desk ticket again . . .

Still nothing - UAC is turned off.
 

Why fight it? Just install it outside \program files* problem solved.
