Directory

[nmort2]

Hi I am trying to export my EA but get the message "Check if Metatrader 4 directory is set correctly". My settings are below:

MT4 Terminal path:
C:\Program Files\MetaTrader\

MT4 Data Path:
C:\Users\hilary\AppData\Roaming\MetaQuotes\Terminal\F762D69EEEA9B4430D7F17C82167C844\

MT5 Terminal path:

C:\Program Files\MetaTrader 5\

MT5 Data Path:
C:\Users\hilary\AppData\Roaming\MetaQuotes\Terminal\D0E8209F77C8CF37AD8BF550E51FF075\

Can someone help please?

Thanks!

Your paths look correct, just check there is no typos.
For example, are you sure your mt4 terminal is not C:\Program Files\MetaTrader 4\

@nmort2

i remember having problem with that too when i was using the desktop version , i put it in like this :

Metatrader 4 terminal path:

C:\Users\Timmy\AppData\Roaming\MetaQuotes\Terminal\

Metatrader 4 data path

C:\Users\Timmy\AppData\Roaming\MetaQuotes\Terminal\30D279B64B1858168C932D8264853F2B\MQL4\

and that works for me
