      5. Attempt to Compile [F5].

      2. Assure successful compile- New --> NinjaScript Editor --> Compile [F5]
      3. Restart NinjaTrader and proceed with the installation again.
      4. After installation, assure successful compile- New --> NinjaScript Editor --> Compile [F5]

    3. Unknown Install Problem with "Programming Errors" Message

      Solution:
      First attempt solution (1) above "Compile Errors: Possible References Missing."
      If unsuccessful and the Remove NinjaScript Assembly is not available due to the error message, manually remove the assemblies with this exact sequence-
      1. Open an editor: New --> NinjaScript Editor
      2. Right-Click NinjaScript Explorer (top right), select References.
      3. Remove all dll references to CDX assemblies (they should be near bottom of list). Click OK.
      4. Do not close the editor. In Windows file explorer, navigate to Documents\NinjaTrader 8\bin\Custom
      5. Locate the installed files with CDX prefix. Remove only the CDX files ending in '.cs'
      6. Return to the NinjaScript Editor and Compile [F5]. If any errors exist, you've likely missed a file or reference. Re-check your work.
      7. Once compiled, you should now have access to Tools --> Remove NinjaScript Assembly
      8. Remove all assemblies and proceed with the installation again.
