Hello, 

Hello. I'm trying the tutorial "Using a Desktop User Interface". I followed the tutorial from beginning to end, entered my accont credentials into the config file properly and using the data that is already within in the Data\forex\fxcm\minute\eurusd folder, which is from 01/05/2014 to 15/05/2014.  When I run the program on pc, it throws this exception : An unhandled exception of type 'System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception' occurred in System.dll. This exception has thrown right from Process.Start(info). The trace record was (as seen on command prompt) : Config.Get(): Configuration Key not found. key: history-provider - Using default value: SubscriptionDataReaderHistoryProvider

Could you please checkout whether you have compiled the QuantConnect.Views Project in Release mode and that, consequently, an executable was created at ../../../UserInterface/bin/Release/QuantConnect.Views.exe?
