Installer just shows Windows Installer screen

[jim_collins]

At the end of the download all I get is a Windows Installer window with a list of msi parameters

Try clearing your browser cache and then redownload.

I dled the previous version as an .msi file and it installed with no problem. Looks pretty cool.
For those of you having problems with your OS compatibility it runs fine on a XP SP2 VM (Virtual Machine).

Hi jimmyparky,

Thank you for your reply.

Does the user account you are trying to install NinjaTrader on have administrator privileges?

[jimmyparky]

I have been using user 'user one', but just now as i opened the windows explorer, I've noticed under 'Documents and Settings' there was MSHOME. Explorer opended this folder by default and I'm puzzled how this got there. User One is the administrator. I'm wondering if my windows got corrupted or something and that's why NT isn't installing.

Hi jimmyparky,

Thank you for your note.

Please try logging out of windows and logging back in, making sure User One is the selected account.
