Illegal characters in path (Panic) message when connecting to IQFeed

[scalp]

After installing NT8 I tried to connect to IQFeed (the connection manager is running on my PC) but am getting the following error each time I try:

IQFeed: Error in opening connection IQFeed, exception caught:Illegal characters in path. (Panic)

Can anyone give me some pointers?

Many thanks,

Which IQFeed Client Software version are you using? For NinjaTrader 8, you must have IQFeed Client Software version 6.1.0.20 installed - Download

I can confirm that I am already running v 6.1.0.20

I am able to connect to it via NT7 fine but NT8 gives the error above.
