• O/S: Ubuntu Linux 7.04 a.k.a Feisty Fawn
• Wine Version: 0.9.33
• Metatrader 4: Get here

Tutorial Details:

• First, from a valid windows installation, copy over all the fonts into your wine installation. If you prefer using command line, here we goes the command:

$cp /windows/Fonts/* /home/yourhostname/.wine/c/windows/fonts/

• Copy 2 needed DLL files from your valid windows installation. The DLL files begin with mfc4* . So using command line:

$cp /windows/system32/mfc4* /home/yourhostname/.wine/c/windows/system32/

• Install MT4.

$wine mt4setup.exe

Note:

1. Except installing wine, all of this steps using regular user privilege.
2. Change “yourhostname” in the command line with your current user name.
