Amibroker Info:

• If AmiBroker doesn’t open, it is probably because you are not running in an Administrator account.
• AmiBroker must be run at least one time in an Administrator account in order for UA to find it.
• Doing this may require rebooting in Safe Mode. Please contact AmiBroker’s Technical Support if you need assistance.
