Unable to load NT7 version 16

[bluelou]

I'm unable to open NT7 version 16. I followed the uninstall and install process but it didn't work. Here's the error message I'm getting:

Unable to connect to database 'Data Source = "C:\Users\Lou\Documents\NinjaTrader7\db\NinjaTrader .sdf"' ObjectSpace: Connection string is invalid - Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation

What do I do now? I can't open NT 7 to send a trace/log file or anything.

Hi bluelou,

Can you please try the steps in this post? http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/forum/showpost.php?p=167412&postcount=3

I believe that should resolve your issue. Thanks.

Josh,
I don't have SQL Compact Edition. The only thing that I have that looks similar is SQL Server System CLR Types. Should I go ahead and install SQL Compact Edition 3.5? What's next?

[NinjaTrader_Josh]

Do you have Visual Studio installed? That usually comes with it. Go ahead and try installing SQL CE 3.5 sp2. It should resolve the issue.

Josh,
Nevermind. Once I loaded the new SQL database NT7.16 opened fine. Thx for the help.

Great. Glad you got it resolved.

Installing the SP2 fixed it for me. Thanks for having this answer in the forums where I could find it. Your support forums are awesome.
