ninjatrader setup wizard ended prematurely

[londonby]

I am using a VPS from racknerd. It uses windows 2016.

Everything is updated on windows. I have the framework running.

It will not let me install and I am getting very frustrated. Can anyone help?

Hello londonby,

Thank you for posting on the NinjaTrader forums.


It's likely that either the OS does not meet the installation requirements out of the box and needs to be updated. I assume this is a server machine - you'll want to take a look at this:

If you are still not able to get this going, you'll likely want to use a different VPS.


Please reach out to our team if you need further assistance.

Thanks!

Have you double-checked the system requirements for the app you’re trying to install? Even updated Windows might sometimes miss specific components, like certain .NET Framework versions or Visual C++ redistributables. Try running the installer as an administrator or checking if your VPS provider restricts what can be installed.

I’ve had a similar issue with software setups ending prematurely, and it can be super frustrating. It might be worth checking first to see if your system meets the requirements for NinjaTrader. Sometimes, missing an update or having incompatible software can mess things up. Also, try running the setup as an admin—it helps bypass some permission issues.If that doesn’t work, you might want to check the installation log (if it’s available) to see where it’s getting stuck. Sometimes, third-party software or even antivirus can block parts of the setup.A reliable dedicated server can make things smoother if you're using a hosting service. I’ve heard good things about https://ishosting.com/en/dedicated for trading setups like NinjaTrader.
