Don't install in \program files* on Vista/Win7
I use Windows 7 and Metatrader4 is installed under Program Files (x86).
Is that a problem??
I am trying to test a new EA I have written in the MT4 Strategy Tester.
I am looking for some bugs that I must fixed, but the Journal does not give all the data so I want to open a "Log" file under "Tester", but the folder is empty. NO log files.

Are you looking in \tester or in \tester\logs ? if you don't have a logs folder then it's most probably a UAC issue . . . so install MT4 in a folder other than Program Files
Looking in \tester\logs
Yes, install outside the *Program_Files. :) echo.
Ok! That will keep me busy for a while! I run one live account and two demos and they all have numerous EA's running.
I experienced problems in the past when I used an .exe that was downloaded before. Did not want to connect.
Do you recommend that I download new MT4 .exe's or is that not necessary? My broker is FXOpen.

I cannot provide technical support therefore I cannot recommend anything. However, a safer route would be installing another copy of the FxOpen.exe on your C:\[My_Folder]. This folder could be used for creating and testing programs and would not interfere with your Live running accounts.
