Error in directory MT4 selection

I'm trying to put my installation directory but

the system answer with this error:
"Questa non sembra essere una directory di installazione valida.Si prega di accertarsi di aver selezionato la cartella metatrader radice ( es. C:|\\Programmi \\Metatrader) e si รจ eseguito MT4 almeno una volta prima di selezionare la cartella di installazione"
in my case "cartella metatrader radice" is C:\windows\programm(x86)\forextime MT4 and I'm sure of this.
I'm also sure I have running platform, EA and tester.

Have you any sugestion? Some of you have the same problem? and, if yes how to resolv this?

Hi Lorydan,

Good to hear it's solved. Correct - as mentioned in the instructions, you need to connect to your broker/log in to ensure all important files are downloaded. Once this is done, Tickstory will have the files it needs to recognize it as a valid MT4 path.

Regards.
