hi molanis, metrader updated to 625, but when i build a new EA to compile for metatrader , molanisSB31 says "MQL COMPILER CANT BE FOUND" make sure metalang. exe IS IN META TRADER DIRECTORY.......do you have step by step instructions on dealing with this situation? this is really confusing

The latest mt4 version does not have the mql compiler mql.exe - this file is
needed to take the mq4 and create the compiled ea or ex4 file
MetaQuotes is instructing people to get the file from
http://files.metaquotes.net/metaquotes. ... t5/mql.exe for
Windows 32 bits
http://files.metaquotes.net/metaquotes. ... /mql64.exe for
Windows 64 bits

You have to download the compiler file and put it in the mt4 directory i.e.
C:\Program Files\MetaTrader.

Then in molanis set up the mt4 directory and the data directory

it should be in C:\Program Files\MetaTrader and not in C:\Program Files\MetaTrader\MQL

Ok, I changed it to the fxcm metatrader folder and it still says " it can't find metalange.exe".
Do I have to change the name of the downloaded file?.....or should I re-install molanis program?

I think the mql.exe is not in the right place.
Put it or verify that it is in the right place and then re run the mt4 setup and data folder set up
Please follow all steps in viewtopic.php?f=3&t=6020
Then click on verify for each option

I sorry for the misspelled words,
I followed the steps from the link, and when I went to re- open molanis again, it was asking me for a license # and a 10 day free trial!

Probably you deleted the license by mistake or re installed molanis. You need to re install the license - see http://www.molanis.com/support/faq#install-license

Ok, the license has been installed ,but now it's telling me that " I'm using program on a different computer".....I am not and I didn't change network location.
I think I can figure out why molanis can't find my metatrader directory. I may have to move metatrader or allow permission in the user security to that particular folder where metatrader is located ( program files x86 )
If you can help me out with this license thing, I think this whole issue should be resolved.
