NT6x will likely not install if you don't already have Dot Net 2.0. Your problem is probably more database related, try re installing MDAC : http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en
.
Monkey, thanks for the link. I went to the site, but it's a Microsoft website, so of course it's completely confusing. If I may, I'd like to ask a couple of questions:

1) What's the relationship between MDAC and this dot NET thing? Are they the same thing, or unrelated?

2) On that website link, where's the download page?

3) When I click on the "Validation" button, I get a Security Warning, which asks if I want to install and run "Windos Genuine Advantage". Generally speaking, I don't want anything from Microsoft that I don't absolutely need. Do you know what this "Genuine Advantage" is all about?


4) What does "validation" have to do with the software I apparently need to run Ninjatrader?


Sorry for the sophmoric questions, but my natural hatred of Microsoft is "validated" (pun intended) when I see them throwing curve balls at me. All I want is the bloody download of whatever software Ninjatrader requires.

Thanks in advance, Taz
