The new build has a bug which may stop your EA from working
The advice is not to upgrade to build 418 but wait until the next build due out shortly

Re: Empty4 Build 418 Bug
You need to disable the live update in Empty4.
Look under the main Empty4 file and in the following, config> UpdatePlatform.exe you can just add a - after the exe like this.
UpdatePlatform.exe-
and it will stop the auto update from working. My Empty4 is Cowboy IBFX and it looks like some of the criminals have changed the way Empty4 is installed , another criminals might be different.
I believe the file use to be liveupdate.exe
You would need to do this for each install of Empty4 or it could update anytime...

In the article http://pipburner.com/how-to-disable-live-update-in-Empty4/ author also solved that problem by renaming the liveupdate execution file.

Hi Dixpat
I have been running 2 Alpari demo accounts on 409 build.
All was Ok up until today when on starting up the demos I received an "Old Version" message.
I read somewhere that there was a new build being forced upon us.
I have a multitude of EAs, templates, indicators, set files on the current Alpari demop account.
it would be a bit of a bind to download fresh demos and copy everything over.
Is there a way of upgrading the current demo running build 4.09 to the one just recently released?
Hope you can help
Thanks in advance
