Beta 16: SqlServerCe version mismatch

[tradejockey]

App wont even start up... remember vaguely something about this some eons ago... not sure what was done for it.

To enable assembly bind failure logging, set the registry value [HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Fusion!EnableLog] (DWORD) to 1.
Note: There is some performance penalty associated with assembly bind failure logging.
To turn this feature off, remove the registry value [HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Fusion!EnableLog].

Hello tradejockey,

The crash indicates the installation instructions were not properly performed. See below.

– The following video reviews the steps outlined below - http://www.ninjatrader-support2.com/...05-20_0959.swf
– Start your current NinjaTrader 7 version
– Within the Control Center window select File > Utilities > Remove NinjaScript Assemblies and remove every single assembly listed
– Uninstall NinjaTrader 7 via Windows Control Panel
– Delete the files of the folder /Documents/NinjaTrader 7/bin/Custom (DO NOT delete the sub folders)
– Delete the folder C:\Program Files\NinjaTrader 7 if you have a 32-bit machine OR
– Delete the folder C:\Program Files (x86)\NinjaTrader 7 if you have a 64-bit machine

You will need to uninstall NinjaTrader 7 completely, since you cannot open the software to remove the assemblies. You will lose all settings.

Uninstall NinjaTrader 7 via the Windows Control Panel-->Add/Remove Programs (XP), Programs and Features (Vista).

Manually delete the C:\-->Program Files-->NinjaTrader 7 folder (if still exist)
Delete the My Documents-->NinjaTrader 7 folder.

Clear your browser cache and download and install NinjaTrader 7 at the link below.

http://www.ninjatrader.com/webnew/download_trading_software.htm

If you like to save your settings, please try the following steps. Please uninstall NinjaTrader 7 from the Control Panel, but do not delete the (My) Documents-->NinjaTrader 7 folder. Delete the Program Files-->NinjaTrader 7 folder (if still exists) and remove the files in the (My) Documents-->NinjaTrader 7-->bin-->Custom folders (DO NOT delete the sub folders)

Subsequently re-install NinjaTrader 7.

Likely you will have a compiling issue when compiling your NinjaScript files, so please go to Tools-->Edit NinjaScript-->Indicator. Double click any indicator to open the NinjaScript Editor menu. Right click in the window and select References. Remove any reference that is not part of NinjaTrader or .NET. I have included a screenshot of the references which you can leave.

Subsequently hit F5 in the NinjaScript Editor menu to compile all your NinjaScript files and check if all compiles successful.

Beta 16 blowout

same issue here.

two nt7 b15 workstations upgraded to b16 w/o problem.

two blew up...so a complete scrub is necessary?

b16 is not ready for prime-time!

Hello billm,

Please note that such a crash will not occur if you perform the installation instructions we provided.

My post includes instructions to re-install NinjaTrader 7.0.0.16 with losing your settings as well - see the last two paragraphs.

[billm]

b16 instructions

ok, I'll redo as recommended.

I suggest you change the pop-up notification for new versions to reflect the need to follow special instructions. I have two boxes which upgraded w/o issue and two that blew up...very inconsistent, no?

thanks

[NinjaTrader_Jason]

These instructions are reflected when you click 'Download' on the download page for version 7.0.0.16.

[tradejockey]

Any particular reason as to why those steps listed are not part of the installer? Visual Studio's installers are fairly advanced and even if not, a program should be able to accomplish all those steps and if all components are made part of the project, installer will build the setup correctly.

Also, these kind of steps can be put in a script which the end user can run just like a shell script only windows equivalent of it. And same goes for any database related changes either such as ddl, dml.

Error is rather clear and some of the steps seem draconian and perhaps irrelevant to the version mismatch issue. Besides, why would you want to deal with an end user in production environment asking them to do a bunch of stuff such as do this but not this.. and btw you might lose your settings etc..

Just as a side note, the "installation steps not performed correctly" suggests that the user is dumb which might very well be.. but come on.. just put all the steps in the setup or give us a script that does all that and then invokes setup on its own. I can understand if you are a small shop with not enough manpower though..

[NinjaTrader_Jason]

I am not sure why these steps are not included in the installer. They are reflected when you download NinjaTrader from the download page.

Please note that NinjaTrader 7 is still in beta phase and not in production - NinjaTrader 6.5 is the current production version.

I will forward the suggestion to include the steps in the setup or have it performed automatically. Thank you for your feedback.

[NinjaTrader_Jason]

Unfortunately these steps could not be performed automatically (part of the installer), since there are too many possibilities as to what users have on their machine.
