Hi,

Understood VS code is not officially supported. But just wondering if you have quick answer to below.

When I use VS Code to load the c:\Users\leont\Documents\NinjaTrader 8\bin\Custom\ folder, I got below error.
But I'm 100% sure that I have installed .Net Framwork SDK 4.8.
Have you faced this problem and what is solution?

Hello leontancfa,

I wouldn't be able to answer for VS Code, but for Visual Studio this sometimes mean that the runtime .NET and not the developer pack was installed.

A google search is suggesting changes to a few files.
