Setup Select MT5 Instance.

The setup application lists the available MT5 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 MT5 first. In that case download and run the MT5 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 MT5 in portable mode from a custom location then copy this EA setup application into the Data Folder of the MT5, then run the EA setup application from that Data Folder. In order to find the Data Folder of the MT5 select the File > Open Data Folder in the MT5's menu.

When the installation is complete start the MT5 up and check that the EA appears in the Navigator window (View > Navigator):
