MT4 strategy tester reports no results and no errors

 

I'm trying to load an EA into the Mt4's strategy tester and it shows the bar chart ticking forward and completes the test with no errors in the journal but there is also no results for the test. I've tried a variety of known working EAs and the result is the same. I have the history downloaded or it wouldn't be displaying the bars. I can't for the life of me figure out what to do here. 


This is what the log says

I've tried using a different installation of Mt4 and the result is the same.


Assistance would be appreciated.
