MT5 build 4524

[wroyager1]

I installed MT5 build 4524, during optimization an error pops up and the program hangs. I have the following information in the log: tester process creation error [C:\Program Files\MetaTrader 5\metatester64.exe][1455]; please check if it is blocked by antivirus software. I have Windows Defender installed and updated

If this is a beta build you should avoid it, stick to stable official builds of MT5.

Jeśli jest to wersja beta, należy jej głównej. Wymagane jest wydanie alternatywne wersji MT5.

I am afraid this will install the last beta. Last time I checked, it's what happened. That's a reason of some complaints here on the forum, it's not that easy to get the last release (4410 for now).

I didn't know that Alain, then we can only get the latest official release of MT5 from a broker's downloads area.

Alain is right, MT5 installing the latest beta version, even replacing the terminal64.exe file with version 4410 instead of v.beta also causes the terminal to hang.

It's best to uninstall entirely your 4524 build and install the latest 4410 official release afresh from a broker's website.

MT5 file from broker also installs version 4524. Markets start in an hour...

Yes it may happens too. Not with all brokers as far as I know.

I questioned MetaQuotes CEO about this situation but got no answer. (See my last attempts, but that's years I am trying).

The only solution is to copy the 4410 files directly (of course you firstly need to get them). BUT BEFORE that, you need to empty the folders used for automatic updates. The WebInstall folder (but it's not the only one)

Maybe I will create a new topic about it.

Thanks for the info, Alain. I've reported this issue to my brokers
