Possible error

If you are facing issues installing MT4 using the installer from our Dropbox folder, try this workaround.

Workaround 1

Step 1:

Use this installer instead: https://www.dropbox.com/s/0wejooaxrslx376/oanda4setup.exe

This installer is from the broker Oanda[1]. Oanda is available for US residents. Some other brokers are not. But this doesn't matter for now as we are using Oanda's MT4 but creating a demo account from MetaQuotes.

Step 2:

After installation, go to "File", then click "Open an account".

Find the Metaquotes demo server by manually typing it the name "metaquotes".

Step 3:

Choose the MetaQuotes-Demo server and continue the rest of the account creation as per the video above.

Workaround 2

Download using a broker's MT4.
