Error: Can not find or load

#1 Postby JJLL » Fri Jan 06, 2023 12:34 pm

Hello,
I've been using FT for years and have a good knowledge of its features.

Sadly, I installed the newest version 5.0.0.65 and can not install indicators or strategies.

In the past I've either copied and pasted the .dll files into the Indicators or Strategies directories of FT. Currently, if I copy and paste the .dll file into the correct FT directory. The file can not be seen in the list of installed strategies although the file is there. If I try to install it, I get the message, "This strategy is already installed. Overwrite? When I click Yes, the same Error: Can not fine or load appears.

I have a number of strategies and none are able to be installed. The same goes with any indicators.

I have reinstalled FT a number of times and still experience the same error.

Now the interesting thing is that I just updated FT from version 5.0.0.44 and I had no problems at all in regards to installing indicators and strategy files.

I am running Windows 11 under an administrator account.

Any help would be appreciated!
Thank you.

Hello,

Have you tried to add indicators or EAs via the Forex Tester 5 program?

Please open FT5, click "List of indicators" button, then click "Install New Indicator".
In appeared window click "..." button, then select .dll file of the indicator on your computer and click "Install".
Do you see any error message after that?

If not, then this indicator should appear in the "Custom" section in the list of indicators.

P.S. Just in case, please always launch the software as administrator and also disable antivirus when adding indicators/EAs.
Because some antiviruses can block .dll files.

Hello,
Yes, I have tried to install both indicators and strategies through the "Install New Indicator/Strategy" buttons.

In the FT log files, I do see the following:

2023.01.11 17:38:09 App version : 5.0.0.65
2023.01.11 17:38:09 App directory: C:\ForexTester5\

2023.01.11 17:38:12 AC.dll
2023.01.11 17:38:12 adr.dll

I have FT5 running a fresh install of Windows 11. I actually reformatted a drive just for FT to see if the problem work be resolved. Sadly, it has not.

If you need any more information from me, please ask.
Thank you.
