Windows 8: MT4 compiler not generating EX4

Hello,
I recently acquired a Windows 8 PC and I've done a fresh install of MT4 on it and transfeffered all my indicators from my previous Windows 7 PC.
The only problem I have noticed so far is that when compiling, the compiler successfully detects the errors in the mq4, however an EX4 file is never created !!!
For now my solution is to use the compilator on a Windows 7 and transfer the EX4 to my new PC with USB keys.
I haven't found anyone having the same problem as me.
Anyone here whith the same experience ?

Thanks in advance

Try to disable the UAC from the control panel and execute both of MetaTrader and MetaEditor as Administrator using the mouse right clic...

Can you post a snippet of the code please . . .

hey koopa..... I've been using windows 8 since it came out and have not noticed any problems..... I install the platforms in the OS(C: , not in the program files folder.....

from your post it sounds like you know what your doing, but have you tried , with platform closed, to save a known valid mq4 file to the proper folder and then start the platform..... on every start up, the platform looks for any mq4 that has not been compiled and complies it on it's own creating the needed ex file....

so if you saved 10 indicators or eas in mq4 format it will compile each before you can use the platform.....h

There is a problem with MT4 Version:4.00 Build 500.

If this is the version that you are using, then that is your problem and not Windows 8.

I experienced the same problem and then even purposely made errors in the code and it compiled with 0 Errors.

The only way around this for now is to compile on older Builds of the MT4 platform....

Coders are starting to report the bugs on all the Forums.......

hey koopa..... scratch my post.... no doubt in my mind gvc is correct......

i'm using version 482 on windows 8 ..... just re- loaded version 432 on it and of course had to update due to 'old version' error..... it updated to version 482 and works perfectly..... I do not have 500 on windows 8....

I have version 500 on windows 7..... but won't have for long.....h

Well thanks everyone for your help my problem is solved. Actually it was a combination of 2 problems:

1. as ouissam said I had to run the compiler with administrator rights
2. I also had to run so command to upgrade my admin rights in Window 8, even if I had a basic administrator right that wasn't enough so I upgraded myself to some sort or super-admin.

Thanks again to all of you for your help
