Unable to open a DEMO account... please help

New comment
 

I downloaded MQL5. I am not able to create a DEMO account.

  1. When I try to run it... 
  2. It comes up with a "Getting Started" pop-up... with "Create a new demo account"
  3. I click "Next", go to the next window... select the "I agree to subscribe to your newsletters"
  4. It tries to connect to the "MetaQuotes-Server" ( which takes quite some time) and just doesn't create a User Id / Password for the DEMO account.The "FINISH" button doesn't get enabled.
  5. I am not able to run the Debugger, as I don't have a DEMO account.
  6. I am able to create DEMO accounts in MQL4.
    1. I did the following
    2. Uninstalled MQL5 a couple of times and re-installed didn't work.
    3. Uninstalled MQL4, installed MQL5... doesn't work.
    4. Copied the Config.ini of MQL4 into Config.ini of MQL5... doesn't work...

I am completely stuck... PLEASE HELP!! Rosh had earlier replied saying "I need to have rt-443 open" what does that mean?????

Perhaps you have some firewall enabled on PC that doesn't allow your MT5 to connect to demo server?

I checked and checked again... I don't have any firewall on my machine. I am using Windows 7, though.

I also tried running MQL5 as an Administrator... it's not able to connect to the DEMO Server... 

Is there a log file that MQL5 generates... that I can look at?

PLEASE HELP!!!

Why don't u attempt to do it in a different location to rule out network/router problems being the cause.

Thanks GORDON! I was working on a very old MQL5Setup exe. I got the latest and it looks good now.
