Something not working?
- Empty chart after an update? Click «✓ Updated · Load», or close NinjaTrader completely and open it again.
- A failed update changes nothing. Updates install only a complete, signed set; otherwise: «The update was NOT installed… install with VECTOR Setup».
- Which version is installed? From 1.29.60 the VECTOR window shows the version and its build date. No build date? That's not a release — install again with VECTOR Setup.
- Compile errors that name VECTOR? Install again with the latest VECTOR Setup and restart. Move backup copies of VECTOR's files out of NinjaTrader's folders.
- «Access to the path … is denied» when importing? OneDrive can set the NinjaTrader 8 folder to read-only. Close NinjaTrader, open Command Prompt (a normal one, not as administrator) and run:
attrib -R "%USERPROFILE%\Documents\NinjaTrader 8\*" /S /DIf your Documents folder is in OneDrive, use this path instead:%USERPROFILE%\OneDrive\Documents\NinjaTrader 8Then import again. Nothing is deleted. From VECTOR 2.6.61 the add-on checks the folders itself and offers «Fix it». - «This computer's install signature was not accepted»? Connect again. If it repeats, contact support with your Support ID. Don't reinstall again and again or delete files.
- Stuck? Contact support with your Support ID — never the key.
