In Windows 7 some kind of protection is triggered I have the terminal installed in the directory

C:\Program Files (x86)\MetaTrader 5_1\MQL5 but the folders in the directory are duplicated.

C:\Users\user\AppData\Roaming\MetaQuotes\Terminal\E885B7972A0C831E41EB39B7A9849BBC\MQL5

I uploaded files to both. still does not work, and also when restarting the terminal everything disappears, the indicator window remains empty.

try to delete files with images from Files and Images folders and see if they reappear when the indicator is launched.

also see if other custom indicators, which are built in a separate subwindow, work.

try to replace in the function void Board::GetChart(int X_size,int Y_size,string request,string file_name)

//prepare the paths for the converter 
   CString src;
   src.Assign(TerminalInfoString(TERMINAL_PATH));
   src.Append("\MQL5\Files\\"+file_name+".png");
   src.Replace("\\","\\\\");
   CString dst;
   dst.Assign(TerminalInfoString(TERMINAL_PATH));
   dst.Append("\MQL5\Images\\"+file_name+".bmp");
   dst.Replace("\\","\\\\");
