Setup Select MT4 Instance.

The setup application lists the available MT4 instances. Select one or multiple of them for installation target and click on the Next.

Note:

If you see an empty list then you probably need to install an MT4 first. In that case download and run the MT4 setup application from your preferred broker's web site. After that run again this EA setup application.

If you are an advanced user and you run the MT4 in portable mode from a custom location then copy this EA setup application into the Data Folder of the MT4, then run the EA setup application from that Data Folder. In order to find the Data Folder of the MT4 select the File > Open Data Folder in the MT4's menu.

When the installation is complete start the MT4 up and check that the EA appears in the Navigator window (View > Navigator):
