NT8 doesn't start again

[jpkulkarni]

This is super frustrating BTW. Every few attempts of compiling my code hangs NT8. Then I have to restart NT8.. Sometimes it starts up just fine and other times (like now) it refuses to start. I keep getting cannot load custom assembly issue. In past when I had this, I could just either backup my Config.xml or remove Custom/bin and Custom/obj folders and it used to work. It's not working anymore. I also tried to rename the SQLite DB file and it didn't help.

Searching some more in this forum, told me that I need to re-install. This is not optimal. I have a lot of things installed and I need to re-install everything or do surgical backup restures.. Its going to now take the rest of my afternoon to get me back to where I was 15mins ago.

Can someone please help me restore my NT so I don't have start from scratch -- AGAIN.

Hello JK,

Thanks for your post.

Are you using Visual Studio for editing NinjaScripts? If so, are you making sure to NOT run or build the solution in Visual Studio?

Please share a screenshot of the full error message so we may see what you are seeing.

We recommend frequently backing up your NinjaTrader platform to a backup file by going to Tools > Export > Backup file. By doing so you could import the backup file if you were to ever need to reinstall the platform.
