Cannot load DLL file from MT5 - No error specified

[David Jose Lopez Onate]

Dear Forum,

 

I've been trying to load a DLL file from MT5 but the following messages appears under experts tab:

2013.03.12 12:30:45 TestMLEngine (USDJPY,H1) unresolved import function call

2013.03.12 12:30:45 TestMLEngine (USDJPY,H1) Cannot call 'mlxOpen', 'LibMlEngine.dll' is not loaded

 2013.03.12 12:30:45 TestMLEngine (USDJPY,H1) Cannot load 'C:\MetaTrader 5\MQL5\Libraries\LibMlEngine.dll'

It's not an EA which is making the call but a script. I don't think it's due to a bad coding because I have taken the files from a MT5 collaborator in this link: https://www.mql5.com/en/articles/44. The files I'm using are contained in this zip: https://c.mql5.com/2/7/dllmatlab_en__3.zip

 

Could anybody teach me which is the problem?

Many thanks.

Ethan.

Can you show your script code (start with # import, not all the script) ?

Are you sure you have copy LibMlEngine.dll here C:\MetaTrader 5\MQL5\Libraries\ ?

What is your system Windows xx, 32 or 64 bits ?

Yes, I'm sure. See attached.

Sorry but I can't help you. I have 64 bits system only and no experience with Mathlab. Maybe another moderator or admin, be patient...and read carefully article and comments that you give the link, as I see another member that have problem too.

Did the comments at the bottom of the article help at all ?

Copy all this DLL to <terminal path>\MQL5\Libraries

All this DLLs you can take from C:\Program Files\MATLAB\R2011a\bin\x86

Thank you all for you replies.

I found the problem. Many missing DLLs under system32 folder of Windows. Thanks avoitenko, I used the Dependency Walker to discover the DLL files.

@kaleb / Anybody else with this problem:

I am facing the exact same issue. How exactly did you fix it? I have placed C:\Program Files (x86)\MATLAB\R2013b\bin\win32 in my system PATH, have confirmed that all .dlls (libmx.dll, libeng.dll etc) are present either in <terminal path>\MQL5\Libraries or C:\Windows\System32 folder or C:\Program Files (x86)\MATLAB\R2013b\bin\win32, but I am still unable to load the LibMlEngine.dll in MetaTrader 5.

 

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

it's probably late, 

but I've bumped into this issue also.

 

In my case,

because I've installed metatrader 5 64bit version,

the solution was a 64 bits version of the dll (which I found eventually)

Maybe this will help others
