Export indicator with unmanaged dll

[AiTrading]

Hi,

I have an indicator that references an unmanaged dll. I created an export zip and then added this dll to this zip. This addon installs and the unmanaged dll is copied to the Custom directory. However, when I run the indicator I get an error:

>> Unable to load DLL 'x64\my_dll': The specified module could not be found.

Where is the x64 directory located?

Thanks

Hello AiTrading,

Thanks for your post.

It seems like the DLL might be located in a sub-folder named 'x64'.

The DLL that you are referencing would need to be added to the Documents/NinjaTrader 8/bin/Custom folder and NOT within any sub-folders.

NinjaTrader would not be able to see the DLL if it is located in a sub-folder.

Let me know if I may assist further.

Hey AiTrading,

Is your exported indicator in a zip folder? If so, create a new folder, move that zip file in new folder, then extract the zip file inside that new folder. Copy the exported indicator file (It should have a file name extension called .cs) then paste it in NinjaTrader 8\bin\Custom\Indicators. You should be able to use the exported indicator.

I hope this is helpful to you.

Hi woltah231,

Thank you for the suggestion.

The problem is that this DLL depends on a VS distribution that doesn't exist on the test machine.
