Ok. Here's the solution.
Because MT4 is a 32-bit binary the DLL also have to be the 32-bit version. So even if your Windows installation have dozens of sqlite3.dll
files here and there, they are mostly 64-bit version, and you can't use them. However, as long as they are the 32-bit versions, you can just copy it to the C:\Users\<Username>\AppData\Roaming\MetaQuotes\Terminal\<hash>\MQL4\Libraries\
directory. (Or use the one supplied in this repo if you trust it.)
Next, make sure you refresh and compile the TestSQLite3.mq4
file, before adding it to the chart. Once added it will run and finsih immediately. The resulting SQLIte DB file will now be located in:
C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\MetaQuotes\Terminal\<hash>\MQL4\Files\test.db
You can test in powershell with:
if(get-content .\sqlite3.dll -totalcount 50 | select-string -Pattern "PE..L" -Quiet) {Write-Host "32-bit binary: OK"}
You say in the readme that the DLL should go into the
Library
directory, but you don't say where that is ocated. MT4 only has aLibraries
directory located under:"C:\Users\<Username>\AppData\Roaming\MetaQuotes\Terminal\<hash>\MQL4\Libraries\
.So what is it?
