NT8: Manually Uninstall Package

[saturntd]

I installed a package from a vendor & afterword I can't compile anything. The error refers to lines of code in vendor's package but it has nothing to do with my indicator I'm trying to compile.

The vendor install package was a .exe that had to be installed when ninja was shutdown.
Because there's a compile error I can't use "Remove NinjaScript Assembly"
I tried deleting the vendor .cs & .dll files but that didn't help.

Is there anyway to manually uninstall NinjaScript files?

--Option 1--
Uninstall NinjaTrader 8 completely.

Rename "My Documents/NinjaTrader 8" to "My Documents/NT8.Orig"

Download and reinstall NinjaTrader 8.

--Option 2--
Exit NinjaTrader.

Edit the Config.xml file.
(Make a backup somewhere first)

Search for section <References>.

If the offending DLL(s) are in this section, delete those lines.

Delete all vendor files anywhere inside "NinjaTrader 8" folder as well.

Restart NinjaTrader.

Good luck!

Hello bltdavid,

Thank you for your post.

Glad to assist. Generally moving or deleting the .CS file accomplishes removing the indicator. To test, please follow the instructions below to see where the errors are coming from after compiling the indicator. This will allow you to debug the indicator/strategy or remove it from your PC. Regarding the error when compiling only one indicator, NinjaTrader compiles all indicators and strategies - not just one. This is done to give you the highest runtime performance possible.


Open NinjaTrader
From the Control Center select the New menu--> select NinjaScript Editor
Double click on the Indicators folder--> then double click on any of the indicators
Once the indicator code is in view right click in the window and select Compile to compile all NinjaScript objects
At the bottom of the NinjaScript Editor window, a new section will appear where you can find the error locations
You can exclude the file referenced in the editor by double clicking on the appropriate object type on the right of the NinjaScript Editor window. This will expand the object type folder. You can then select the file with a left click--> right click on the object--> then select Open to begin debugging the file, Exclude From Compilation, or Remove to delete the file.

If you are unsure as to what the error is indicating, please post a screenshot of the NinjaScript File column and Error column fully visible (not to be confused with the Code column)
