Trial version crashes on startup

I just installed the trial version and it crashes when I try to start it. I'm running 64-bit Windows 10 Pro on a HP ProBook 650.
I can see from the bug report that my operating system is identified as Windows 8, which is wrong. Don't know if it matters though.
Any suggestions for a fix?

I found the problem. I had installed it in another folder than the default C:\ForexTester3. This folder containes spaces, which obviously was a problem. The bug report said "exception message: Invalid file name - %s."
Does anyone know if the full version has the same problem?

Hello,
Thank you for the update.
Demo and full version is the same program, it just works with restrictions without a license key entered.
Just install this program into a default folder and this issue will not happen again.
This issue will be fixed in one of the next program versions.

Just downloaded the latest version, but it constantly crashes on startup. I dont even see any screen of the app. Not a good start.

Hello,
Please download Forex Tester 3 via this link:
http://www.forextester.com/files/ForexT ... upEng3.exe Install it on your computer into another folder (for example, C:\ForexTester3_NEW). Please DO NOT install it into the Program Files folder.
After that, launch Forex Tester 3 as administrator (right-click -> run as administrator).
This should help to fix the issue.
