Is Metatrader 4 dead?

I've tried different installers from different brokers. Each time the install gets to downloading files, it fails. I get the red 'x' instead of the green checkmark.

Is there a problem or did Metaquotes finally kill it? I'm in the U.S. and MT4 is the only option I have in the Metquotes universe.

Nope. MT4 is still going strong and will be around for a while to come....

Had it happen once or twice. Chances are your MT4setup.exe file is outdated. Try downloading the latest version from your brokers.

You find all currently supported and working versions and the web installer here: https://github.com/rosasurfer/mt4-mql
