Do you have the MQ4 files, or is the a ex4 file?

Try re-installing and if that doesn't work, then contact the developer.

//---

reinstall prior version of metatrader......

save/backup a copy of your current version, the one causing trouble......

it's a good habit of saving a current copy before allowing anything to make a change ..... if you have many accounts like me, just backup/save the entire terminal folder...... this will include all accounts with all brokers.....

don't feel the need to be first to update..... now you know firsthand the risk......h

the file is to big for forexfactory to allow me to upload..... but enivid has it posted here on his site.......h

Thanks Bro, but I didn't fix it with this. Same strange problem, till last week all was ok and no issue and from yesterday some EAs are not working. I didn't change the mt4 or nothing else...

Yesterday I downloaded the mt4 .exe file from the broker website but this didn't work. Another strange thing is that on a singular account it didn't work, then I tried on another one (different vps and different broker) and it worked (it has been attached to the chart). Then I closed all the mt4, restarted the vps (I do this any week as adviced from our vps provider forexvps.net) and on the same mt4 it didn't work anymore.

damn

I have downgraded it to Build 1415. And then my EA worked again. But for a couple of hours. After that my whole MT4 was blocked. I couldn't delete running orders I could not even see them moving.

I have uploaded the MQL4 file in the expert advisor folder and now the EA works again.

Find the C:\Users<UserName>\AppData\Roaming\MetaQuotes\WebInstall folder. Delete its contents. Make it read-only for the system user (so that MetaTrader couldn't create new files there). Perhaps, the same should be repeated for the C:\ProgramData\Metaquotes\WebInstall folder if you have it.

I had this before to update terminal

right click mt4 icon run as administrator and say yes to change files

this may work
otherwise you need to d/l the latest version from your broker and reinstall but be careful if may wipe your files so save them
