Just installed Ninjatrader 8.0.18.0, "failed to find visual studio installation"

Great! Thanks Jim!

Thanks for the reply SeyKool,

I've tracked your impact with our change request to update the Visual Studio button in the NinjaScript Editor to support Visual Studio 2022.

The ticket ID is SFT-5391. I cannot offer an ETA or promise of fulfillment, but historically, we have been keeping the button up to date with current versions of Visual Studio.

Hi Jim,
Add my vote to the issue too, please. Having the same headache now after installing Ninja and current VS on my new pc.

well damn, is this fixed yet, i was having the same problem

[seykool]

For everyone who faces the issue as well, here is a temporary solution:

- with 2019 being installed, click the button in the NinjaScript editor
- rename the generated .sln and .csproj files
- open 2022 and open the renamed .sln file

Just be aware of that according to the NT_Jesse this isn't recommended. "I couldn't recommend this, the .csproj file is managed by NinjaTrader and if you make that not editable in some way you will have problems in the platform later down the line."

Cheers

Don't need to rename anything.

Just find the project and open it in VS 2022.

With the Ninja editor still open in the background, saves will be detected and it will compile automatically. If you want to debug... attach to the ninja process.

Just don't save the project. ( especially dont compile within VS, like I did by mistake at one point. )

Button doesn't work, but it's a very minor inconvenience in the end, I've found.

Please add my vote

[seykool]

Yes that's true.

Only rename the files if you want to skip the NS editor button and if you want to save your bookmarks for example, because NT always destroys the project at the end.

Thanks everyone for sharing interest,

I can comment that the Visual Studio button in the NinjaScript Editor is fixed do it can find Visual Studio 2022. This will be available when Release 26 gets announced (note that we cannot offer an ETA.)

I just installed NT8 (8.0.25.0 64-bit) and Microsoft Visual Studio 2022 (Community, .Net), restarted the computer, and I still have that error "failed to find visual studio installation" when pressing "Open Project in Visual Studio".

The installer is "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\Installer".
NT is in "C:\Program Files (x86)\NinjaTrader8"

Please help

[NinjaTrader_Jim]

Hello Shai Samuel,
