ERROR OCCURS WHEN INSTALLING: If you receive an error when importing the .zip file, then you will want to take a snapshot of the error and submit a ticket with NinjaTrader's Support. You will want to give NinjaTrader's Support an opportunity to resolve the issue that created the error. You can reach NinjaTrader's Support via their site >> NinjaTrader Support

After you have resolved your issue with NinjaTrader's Support, you may continue to the next step in your installation process.

Installation of .zip file Completed

It is always a good habit to relaunch your NinjaTrader just after importing a new .zip file. Shut down and exit your NinjaTrader. As NinjaTrader shuts down, a window will pop up giving you options to save or not save. You will need to select YES TO ALL. This will allow NinjaTrader to register the newly installed .zip file.

That's it!  You are done with the installation of the .zip file.
