Microsoft ML.Net requires .NET 4.6.1

[12tkram]

Thanks Chelsea .. do you happen to know which folder that is in on windows 10 ? I can only see v2.0 v3.0 v3.5 and v4.0.30319 (which looks like 4.8 to me) in C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64 .... I can't see a 4.5 ? any ideas ?

Hello 12tkram,

I wouldn't know the specifics of how .NET installs. Microsoft may have more details about where .NET installs. From my understanding the later versions include the previous versions.

thanks bud!

install path is in the registry, as you would expect lool

played with the hack, got it all compiled up so you can re-direct the csc to which ever binary you like .. problem is that from 4.6 you can target the framework, so if ninja is targeting 4.5 and you redirect to 4.6 anything it can still target 4.5 from the 4.6 binary .. same with 4.8 etc .. so doesn't look like that works now unless someone else has got it working with windows 10 ..

so .. next best option .. in case anyone is interested

http://accord-framework.net

download the libsonly package from here

https://github.com/accord-net/framework/releases

extract, and use the libs in the .net 4.5 folder, drop them into bin/Custom then add them as references into your script (right mouse click --> references)

then use something like this (i am using decision trees and data tables)

using Accord;
using Accord.IO;
using Accord.MachineLearning.DecisionTrees;
using Accord.MachineLearning.DecisionTrees.Learning;
using Accord.Math;
using Accord.Math.Optimization.Losses;
using Accord.Statistics;
using Accord.Statistics.Analysis;
using Accord.Statistics.Filters;
using System;
using System.Data;
using System.Drawing;
using System.IO;

+1 on the request. .NET 4.5 is very old....

Hello aviat72,

I have added your vote.

Is there something specific you are wanting to use in the later versions of .NET that is not available 4.5? (The later versions also include 4.5)

The ML Library is something I would love to try out too.

In general when the entire ecosystem moves forward, getting old in the tooth will starts showing its impact. It could be how well the GPUs are utilized and other optimizations which may not be backported to older versions.

The version of Interactive Brokers TWS supported is also about 18 months old; a part of me is worried is that one fine morning IB will force me to upgrade from that version and NT will not work properly.

Hello
+∞ for the request
Any estimation? (votes/years to implement) A piece of art like NT must have the latest versions of the framework, this is my dream...

Hello Optiondreamer,

As with all feature requests, interest is tracked before implementation is considered, so we cannot offer an ETA or promise of fulfillment. If implemented, it will be noted in the Release Notes page of the Help Guide.

Please upgrade NinjaTrader to .NET v4.8 or later. This is a source of frustration with extending NinjaTrader.
