How to get NinjaTrader Installation Folder

[xmms1]

Hello,
how can I get the NinjaTrader Installation Folder? I need to play sounds located in the NinjaTrader 6.5\sounds directory no matter where the NinjaTrader is installed. I want to avoid reading registry keys.

Hello Xmms1,

Thank you for your post.

Although not supported, you can use:
NinjaTrader.Cbi.Core.InstallDir

Thanks. And what's the difference if I use at-sign @ in the PlaySound function or not?

Hello xmms1,


The @ symbol will mean that C# will take the line literally. This is useful when put in front of directories so that you don't have to know the specific escape characters.

The reference sample below provides some more information on this topic:

The location for this string is now in

NinjaTrader.Core.Globals.InstallDir

Thanks for the detailed insight.

[ntbone]

NinjaTrader.Core.Globals.UserDataDir

will get you the "Ninja Trader 8 " folder in the users Documents.
