MQL: Create configuration error

[mscengsoft]

Hello,

While following the instructions on "Quick Setup Guide:", I get an error on step 3: Create a settings file "settings.json". Press Ctrl+Shift+P to open the command palette, select "MQL: Create configuration".

When I run "MQL: Create configuration" I get an error message: "Command 'MQL: Configuration' resulted in an error (Cannot read properties of undefined (reading '0'))

Could you please help me figure this out? I would love to install this extension.

Thank you,

Marcelo.

I have not encountered such an error, but I will keep it in mind for the future. Create the 'settings.json' file manually as shown in the picture and copy this code into it

{

}

then change this path to your own: "C:\\Users\\<your name>\\AppData\\Roaming\\MetaQuotes\\Terminal\\D2E7219F73C8BF37CD8BF550E55FF075\\MQL5\\Include".
