I realise custom development is outside the scope of support, however, in this instance, I think NT is misbehaving.
I had added a reference to some DLL's (third party microsoft assembly) - Not something I have had an issue with before. Most of them worked, but 3 would not load. I get the error in the output window The system cannot find the file specified. etc.I verified the files are correctly located and added as references, but the issue persists.
A workaround is to copy them directly into the C:\Program Files\NinjaTrader 8\bin folder. This resolves all the issues, but this is not the way it should be done. I have placed them in a custom folder in \Documents\NinjaTrader 8\bin\Custom\, which is where I pointed the editor too when I added them as references. I also tried directly in the custom folder. I have tried to edit the app.config to probe this path, and provide a codebase, but I just cannot get NT8 to look there. It does for other DLLs. Just not these few, for some reason. Again, same files into the program files folder and it works.
Is there a known issue or workaround to make NT find the DLLs in an alternative location? I'd rather not copy files directly into the install folder as I know it's unsupported and improper.
Thanks.
