Install multiple MT4/MT5 on same PC
You can install and run multiple MetaTrader4 (MT4) / MetaTrader5 (MT5) apps on a single PC. If you wish to do so, make sure to change the installation folder name so it doesn't overlap with the existing MT4/MT5 folder name. Here we'll look at the steps required to install multiple MT4/MT5 apps on a single PC.
Step 1
Double-click the downloaded MT4 file to launch the MT4 installer.

To create multiple MT4 shortcuts on desktop
When installing multiple MT4 apps, change the shortcut name of the existing app from "MetaTrader4" to something else. This will let you create new shortcuts when you install additional programs.

Step 2
The MT4 setup window will appear. Click "Settings".
Step 3
In the installation folder, specify a folder name different from that of the installed MT4. If it is the same folder name, you can't install multiple folders as the existing folder will be overwritten instead.
