NinjaTrader 8.0.27.0 install - Unable to load custom assembly

[ntcat]

I can't load up Ninja Trader at all. I have a lifetime license, and I get this error over and over....






I have tried applying the fixes here...

https://ninjatrader.com/support/forum/forum/ninjatrader-8/platform-technical-support-aa/1205509-ninjatrader-8-0-26-1-install-unable-to-load-custom-assembly

My Documents Path is not Standard...




It's actually a Place on the NAS...




I have not used Ninja Trader in since Feb 2022, I have logged in and migrated my account, but I can't seem to get Ninja Trader 8 working..... It's worked in the past, so maybe something was changed in the last 8 months?


Here is my System Information..



Please let me know if you can help.

Thanks.

Hello ntcat,

Thank you very much for your post.

NinjaTrader requires the Documents folder to be locally saved, to be able to access it. A remote folder, e.g. on a shared network drive or NAS causes issues when the platform attempts to read or write and would explain these errors.

Are you able to move the Documents folder to a local drive? This should resolve the errors.

Please don't hesitate to let me know, should you have any further questions!

Can you move the Documents folder to a local drive? I am not.

Is there a flag to define the path of the saved files instead of using the default path of %Documents% keyword?

Adobe Cloud, and Steam (Game Platform) does not have an issue with reading or writing from the NAS, my entire profile is on the NAS, not on the local C:/

Thanks.

Hello ntcat,]

Thank you very much for your reply.

While you may move your Documents folder (by right-clicking "Documents", selecting Properties and Location), it would not be possible to custom-set which folder NinjaTrader uses at this time, separate from the Documents folder.

Unfortunately, I am not aware of a method to avoid errors when NinjaTrader accesses a network-mapped folder, as the platform expects this folder on a local hard drive.

Please don't hesitate to let me know, should you have any further questions!

I think I got a workaround, I have a network VM image that pulls from the NAS, and it seems to work, as the VM image is accessing C:/ as far as it's concerned. I am a little worried that it's pulling from an image, which may slow down tick data, I might have to invest in a remote PC to load up Ninja Trader 8
