The ND2 reader will install only on a plain install of ImageJ 1.49 or 1.50a. Multiple attempts with various 32 & 64 bit versions with appropriate Java engines and 32 or 64 bit versions of the plugin fail on Fiji (latest). This is a Windows-only plugin found at http://rsb.info.nih.gov/ij/plugins/nd2-reader.html. This plugin is essential to doing any advanced work with ND2 files. 

The error shown is that ND2SdkImageI6.dll can't find its dependent libraries. I can't find any controls in ImageJ to configure anything, so I'm afraid I have no idea what the problem is or how to fix it. I prefer to use the Fiji distribution, so any help will be welcome.

Ignore the system info attached. I submitted from a Linux box.

Thanks for the report, someone will investigate this! But probably not immediately.

In the meantime, can you open your ND2 files in Fiji without this plugin, using Bio-Formats? http://imagej.net/Bio-Formats

Or does the Nikon ND2 plugin have some other feature you need?
