Changing from MT4 to MT5
-
I'm using the local version.
I have moved from MT4 to MT5. I unistalled MT4, and then installed MT5.
Fxdreema said it couldn't find MT4, and made no mention of MT5 - the "Export to" button still said ".mq4". All the paths are correct in Global Options, although I can't delete the "C:\Program Files\MetaTrader 4" entry doesn't stay deleted, and is, of course not installed.
So I deleted the fxdreema folder, and re-installed. No change. I still can't export to MT5, and fxdreema continues to complain that MT4 isn't there.
What could be wrong?

"C:\Program Files\MetaTrader 4" is by default. If you delete it, it will appear again... because it's normal to find some value there. Well, my idea is that this shows how the address should looks like.
Are you in MQL5 project? When you are in MQL4 project is does not care what is the MT5 folder, and when you are in MQL5 project it does not care about MT4 folder. You click on .ex4 or .ex5 button?
Projects -> New project (choose MQL5) creates a project for MT5. I tested this right now, it seems to work.

Oops! Sorry! My mistake. You are, as always, quite correct. I didn't do Projects -> New project (choose MQL5). I'm too used to just accepting the default!
