I have very rarely used the old compiler but never had an issue with it. Now I am forced to use VS and installed both the CPP tool from your link and also installed VS 2015 (the free version) yet when I try to compile a .cpp file placed in the ACS_Source folder I receive this error:

Starting build of Custom Studies Source files: OFARealChart2.cpp. -- 10:07:39

The Visual C++ compiler is not installed. Press the 'Install Compiler' button to download and install the compiler.
C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe /C "C:\Sierra CQG\ACS_Source\VisualCCompile.Bat"


C:\Sierra CQG\ACS_Source>call "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\VC\vcvarsall.bat"
OFARealChart2.cpp
C:\Sierra CQG\ACS_Source\OFARealChart2.cpp(1): fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'C:\SierraChart\ACS_Source\sierrachart.h': No such file or directory
-- End of Build -- 10:07:40

I am on the latest 1469 version of SC.

In what folder is Sierra Chart installed to?

Attach this file:
C:\Sierra CQG\ACS_Source\VisualCCompile.Bat

Edit the file OFARealChart2.cpp.


Make sure the include file for the main Sierra Chart header is like this and does not contain a path:
#include "sierrachart.h"

That compiled the dll but it still gave the error that VS wasn't found. Odd. Anyway, appreciated
