I just updated my terminal from b1031 (with which you can debug indicators) to b1052 and even here I just get:
2017.02.28 09:19:08.211 Custom indicator ATR EURUSD,H1: removed
2017.02.28 09:19:07.962 Custom indicator ATR EURUSD,H1: loaded successfully
For a second the minimized terminal appeared and showed the setup-box and everything disappeared again!
So if you want to use the debugger for indicators and you have b1031 and you are asked for the Admin.-Pwd just say NO and keep b1031.
Be aware that every time you start the debugger the terminals wants to be updated and asks you for the Admin.-Pwd, just keep saying no. It is a bit annoying but is is working!

You can use the "/skipupdate" command line option, on both the "terminal" and the "editor" to prevent updates!I just updated my terminal from b1031 (with which you can debug indicators) to b1052 and even here I just get:

I am surprised you are not using it as you yourself "discovered" it when it first came out: "an new terminal start-option: /skipupdate ??"

- I am not against updates especially not in these days!
- I absolutely did not expect that the start of the debugger initialized the terminal to update itself! I am used to the situation that closing the terminal might start the update - if available - so I entered the pwd and confirmed.
- I absolutely did not expect these problems.
- After the update to b1045 the ServiceDesk asked me to update to b1052.
- If the update is initialized from 'within' the terminal the option /skipupdate might not work, even if the terminal is restarted after the PC is restarted after e.g. Windows update...
- Last but not least I am able to war you.

I loaded the simple ATR.mq4 in my mt4.editor (mt4 b 1045 editor: b 1526).
As the debugger button is grey I pretend to save it under a different name but used the same name and confirmed overwriting the original file.
Now if I start the debugger after some graphical action - nothing :(
In both logs I see the same - only:
2017.02.17 12:58:40.096 Custom indicator ATR EURUSD,H1: removed
2017.02.17 12:58:39.832 Custom indicator ATR EURUSD,H1: loaded successfully
For all who don't have the ATR.mq4, it is attached.
Added:
Even if I debug a script calling this indi:
//| Test_debug_Indi.mq4 |
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
#property strict
void OnStart() {
DebugBreak();
double b00 = iCustom(_Symbol,PERIOD_H1, "ATR", 0,0);
}
May be its a new feature to make mt4 as unpleasant as possible?
