MetaTrader crashes on startup
by Anand on Thursday February 7th 2013, 19:00
Hi, I have been using OANDA MetaTrader on FC16 for a while now.. It has been working fine all along, until I updated OANDA MT4 with the latest version coupled with FC16 updates. Since the update, MT4 crashes on startup with the error shown at the end.

I have tried a number of things:

1. Uninstall wine and install the latest via yum (1.5.18)
2. Upgrade Fedora to FC18
3. Double check all the windows DLLs in system32
4. I have even downloaded the source files of wine 1.4.1, compiled them and installed them without luck, am getting the same error

Any clues as to how do I get MT4 working on wine 1.5.18 on FC18?

Brs
Anand

Works fine with Wine 1.5.12
by Daniel Smedegaard Buus on Friday September 21st 2012, 6:35
Just has to install MFC 4.2 using winetricks ('winetricks mfc42'), then the installer finishes correctly. Didn't install any special fonts or anything, but a couple of fonts do look a bit funny, so I might do that eventually.

Hello,

My name is Mohammed Bayoh and I would like to know if anyone knows a step by step process on how to download MetaTrader 4 for macbook OS X. I downloaded Crossover, looked up MetaTrader 4 on their website and it downloaded the program for me, but when the program opens it says "Waiting for update." Please help and thank you in advance.

Installing on Ubuntu 10.10.
by Ray McClain on Tuesday April 12th 2011, 7:54
I used winetricks to install "all fonts" and "vcrun6sp4". The Oanda version installed and seems to be working just fine. I'll post an update after I use it for a month or so.

Installing Metatrader for Mac
by Smashin on Wednesday February 16th 2011, 19:18
I cannot install Metatrader using wine to save my life. I see people do have success with the installation, even after the 218 builds.

I want to know if someone can share step-by-step instructions on how to do a MT4 wine install.

Thanks in advance.

Use winetricks to install mfc42 (sh winetricks mfc42, i think). Then metatrader will install to the end, plopping the dll into systems wont work well (i tried).

I have gotten this to work, but modified it so that it actually closes the socket instead of just breaking and ending the script (otherwise you have to shut down metatrader to get script to work again): codebase.mql4.com/6122
And backtesting an ea is possible by wrapping your code with
if(Time[0] >= StrToTime("2009.06.01 00:00")) {
}

and unchecking use dates (and visual). Got that from here:
www.forexfactory.com/showthread.php?t=194856

StrToTime
by J.G. Kyker on Sunday May 2nd 2010, 20:00
Running Debian Lenny.

After having trouble with StrToTime not working in MQL4, I changed my code to just use TimeHour etc., and my test results match the Windows machine now (at least a small test worked correctly). I also installed WINE 1.1.43, and it works better. I can actually run specific dates through the strategy tester (Use Date checkbox).

I'm running a larger test now, and if it still doesn't match, I'll post an update.

Short of it: BEWARE StrToTime()

StrToTime
by J.G. Kyker on Sunday May 2nd 2010, 18:21
Just a heads up... after installation of Metatrader 4 on Debian, I ran the same MQL algorithm in the strategy tester on a Windows machine and the Linux install for comparison. The results of both tests did not match. It seems to be an issue with the StrToTime function I'm using in MQL4.

There appears to be something quirky with dates and the way Metatrader 4 processes them under WINE. I haven't pinpointed it yet, but I wanted everyone to be aware of the possibility.

can't start MetaEditor
by dino on Saturday March 20th 2010, 12:52
Having troubles to start MetaEditor:

- from Mt4 clicking on icon : try to open for a few seconds then silently close

- from console:

oem@dub:~$ wine metaeditor
wine: cannot find L"C:\\windows\\system32\\metaeditor.exe"

of course path is wrong, should be:
/home/oem/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/MetaTrader

- into the path above: double clicking on terminal.exe start Mt4 but clicking on MetaEditor.exe does nothing (same rights for both)

Don't understand what's happen.

Workaround if the installer hangs
by Till Gerken on Friday January 29th 2010, 8:38
For me, the installer also stopped at the very end of the installation. If the installer program was cancelled or terminated, it would automatically proceed to uninstall Metatrader.

However, if the wine process itself is terminated (by closing the console window wine was started in or by using the kill command), Metatrader will work just fine. It seems that the installer only hangs right before switching to the "installation done" message.

Meta Trader 4 (MT4) hangs on install (Ubuntu)
by John on Sunday January 17th 2010, 7:49
Hi, I am installing Meta Trader 4.00.
On running setup and answering the config questions, MT4 starts to copy all the files accross but then it hangs.


In the terminal window where I initiated the install ( john@john-ubuntu:~/Desktop$ wine mt4setup.exe)

The last thing it display is:
fixme:sfc:SfcIsFileProtected ((nil), L"C:\\Program Files\\MetaTrader 4\\sounds\\alert.wav") stub

in the MT$ install window the last file it displays as being copied before hanging is: C:\Program Files\Meta Trader 4\mailbox\1190736044.english

any assistance would be appreciated...
This is almost the last program I need to run to break free from Micro$oft.

Hi,

Just installed FXDD Metatrader (available on www.fxdd.com/en/trading-software/platform-comparison.html) on a Sabayon distro.

To have MetaEditor running, I have the following DLL's copied from Windows XP to ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/system32:

dwmapi.dll
imm32.dll
iphlpapi.dll
jscript.dll
lz32.dll
mfc40.dll
mfc42.dll
midimap.dll
mpr.dll
msacm.dll
msacm32.dll
msimg32.dll
t2embed.dll
usp10.dll
uxtheme.dll


And wingding.ttf installed on the wine ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/Fonts folder.

Regards,
Ronaldo
