File Assembly and Dependencies Error

[uptick]

I am receiving the following error message:

"Run-Time Error '-xxxxxxxxxxx':
File or Assembly name NinjaTrader.Client, or one of its dependencies, was not found."

I am calling some NT functions from Excel when I get this error message. I had no porblems with this setup as of last week. NT 6.5.1005 and Excel (on Windows XP) were able to interact without problems as of last week. However, I installed VS Studio Express 2008 over the weekend so I thought that might be causing the problem. Anyway, I have gone through a long list of things to try to correct this:

1) I followed the instructions listed on Aaron Stebner's Blog about uninstalling the .Net Framework (this was mentioned in another NT thread ) and reinstalling it. I then reinstalled NT. This left me with the .Net 3.5 framwork along wiht 2.0 and 3.0.

2) I tried uninstalling .Net 3.5, 3.0, and 2.0 and then reinstalling 2.0 and 3.0.

2) I went barebones and removed all .Net frameworks except .Net 1.1. I then uninstalled NT 6.5. Next, I installed .Net Framework 2.0 (following the link from the NT installation guide on your website). Finally, I installed NT 6.5.1.004 (the previous version of NT).

My computer has the following installed as of now:

Windows XP
.Net Framework 2.0
NinjaTrader 6.5.1.004

NT installs and runs fine except for this error. Again, I want to point out that this was working as of last week.

How do I fix this?


Thanks.

When you uninstall please also try deleting the NinjaTrader 6.5 directory in your My Documents. Please note that you will lose all indicators/strategies/data/etc. in the process. I suggest you backup your things before trying this step.

I uninstalled NT and removed the NT6.5 folder under MyDocuments. I then reinstalled 6.5.1005, but that did not fix the problem.

Uninstall NT
Uninstall .NET
delete directory
Clear browser cache
download NT
reinstall .NET
reinstall NT

It's working now. I wish I knew what caused the problem in the first place, but everything is fine now.

Thanks for your help Josh...Nice work!
