Subject: MetaEditor 5 — Compiler-Only Installation Without Launching MT5

Hello,

I am preparing an isolated Windows Server 2025 environment on Microsoft Azure to compile a non-trading MQL5 diagnostic script.

Before installing MetaTrader 5, I would appreciate clarification on the following:

  1. Is there an officially supported installation method that prevents the MetaTrader 5 trading terminal from automatically launching?

  2. Is MetaEditor 5 officially supported on Windows Server 2025 Datacenter?

  3. Is a standalone or offline MetaEditor compiler package available?

  4. Can MetaEditor compile a single .mq5 file through its command-line interface without launching the trading terminal or connecting to a broker?

  5. Can automatic updates or additional processes be triggered during compiler-only execution?

The objective is strictly offline compilation. No broker login, trading or terminal execution is required.

I would appreciate references to official documentation or confirmation from MetaQuotes.

Thank you.
