Running Mt4 Under Ubuntu 10.10 & Wine

Hi, I recently got Ubuntu 10.10 and installed the latest Wine. I installed forex.com MT4 under wine, but I could not use the program! when i try to run the program, Mt4 loads up a bit and then just dissapears, I have searched the forum and some says that i have to copy a MFC42.dll as well as windows fonts from my windows to ubuntu, but I don't have another OS running on my laptop, just pure Ubuntu 10.10.

Help,

another note, any body knows other good FX charting softwares that I can use under wine? AVAtrader really lags and sucks.

thanks

You need the right DLLs and Fonts before you can use MT4 on Linux.
After that it runs like on Windows but you won't be able to use Indicators or EAs which load external DLLs.

I will upload them to Megaupload. You have to copy the contents to /home/your name/.wine/..../windows/ there you will find a fonts directory and a system32 directory where all the DLLs belong to.

There you go: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=NQFKZ088

thanks,

You know I have had no success with MT4 on Linux...I had previously loaded the specified DLL, then the fonts from win into the .wine directory...program downloaded and installed, when I try to execute opening with wine the hour glass spins then closes and nothing happens...same when I try the icon on the desktop anybody seen this or have a solution.
Thanks

Iono, i also experience that error and the problem is because the dll files is not found when the wine try to run mt4.
in your command line, try to write this:
$ winetricks vcrun6

that line will install several files then after the installation finished you can try to run the mt4 again. It works for me in Ubuntu 10.10 maverick
