I have an additional "\" slash at the end. Not sure if that is it.
C/C++ > General > Additional Include Directories >
slash added to end
C:\SierraChart\ACS_Source\
instead of
C:\SierraChart\ACS_Source

I am converting my code from another platform so I am keeping each study in its own dev project/sol and when tested and working as designed, putting the study into a run-time version of all studies, within one set of files with sc.FreeDLL = 0:

For me to consistently work - be able to debug, and also end up with with a working .dll in ...Data dir, I am using the suggestions given by Flipper. Make sure you have the things he points out in his 3 .PNG files.

Also, it could be I am old and losing an edge (less brain cells), I am following steps listed below as I make a new solution. I am doing one for each indicator, as I wanted to migrate each one and keep them separate during dev / debug. When I tried things like Add->existing source file, or some other try at using prior built templates, I had a failure either in it couldn't find stuff, or errors in the compile.

Sequence I took to be able to compile & debug within VS2019 Community Ed. and SierraChart 64 bit bld 2091

1 - Always create a new empty project. Naming it what you choose, placing it in dir structure you choose.

2 - Now to add a new C++ source file. Also name it what you want.

3 - Time to set properties - options & configurations. Keeping with Flippers suggestions, start with the Solution.
- Make sure you end up with correct platform. x64 or x86.

4 - Next set properties for Project

5 - Set properties for .cpp - source file

6 - Next I open a view / window to see the empty source file.

7 - Copy / Paste the source of your indicator code into this file.
- I've been using NotePad++ as the program to open my sample pieces of code to be using in this indicator.
- And since it works and it repeatable, I will do it this way, but smarter people may be able to do it all in VS easier.

8 - Save .cpp file and then do Save All

You should now be ready to 'Build" and then start a debug session if you want

Hope this helps.
