Hello,

I think I found the solution:

With this I can see the right DataFolder after the start up with tickstory too.

Thanks.

Hello,

I did my tests again:

– Installed a new Mt4 to Drive E
– Started in /portable mode -> The DataFolder migrated to Drive E
– then I started it with tickstory -> The DataFolder changed back to Drive C
– I started it several times in /potable mode, -> the DataFolder was on Drive E again
– I started it with tickstory again -> the DataFolder was on Drive C
– I delete everything from the 2 webinstall folders (Programdata & Users) and I deleted the DataFolder on Drive C
– I restarted the terminal with tickstory -> The DataFolder is migrated again to Drive C

So it seems when I normally start the terminal with /portable mode the DataFolder is always on Drive E, but with tickstory it’s always changing back to Drive C.

I attached the two log files from the 2 DataFolders.

I hope it helps to solve this issue.

Thanks.

Ps: Is it working for you in /portable mode as it should?

Hi,

I have the following problem:

I use MT4 with /portable mode on a secondary HDD (Drive E).

When I start my freshly installed terminals -build 625 – with Tickstory the first time my MT4s are not starting. If I start it again, it opens the MT4 platform but during the first start it automatically recreated the “Data Folder” on the system drive again (Drive C) ???, what I already deleted and then the strategy tester tries to open the .fxt file in this folder which is obviously not there. I can see that in Tickstory in the SettingsMT4 settingsMT4 Data Folder the path (Drive E) is changed automatically to the newly created path (Drive C). If I change back to the original location the circle starts again.

On build 509 everything is ok in /portable mode.

I read your forum, but I couldn’t find the solution to this problem.

Can you solve this?

Thanks.
