Hi I can successfully load the DLL with Sierra version 1568, but Sierra version 1598 can't load the DLL what is the missing dependency file anyway ? Using a 3rd party application that enquires DLLs as for exportable functions. it finds my DLL perfect and identifies the exportable functions of the DLL. Why does Sierra version 1598 fails to load the DLL ? Date Time Of Last Edit: 2017-08-23 21:20:38

If i'm not missing something, your answer is not helpful. The reported issue is presented when I'm trying to load a study from a DLL I have developed (chart menu => Studies => Add Custom Study) Sierra identifies the DLL, but instead of of presenting the DLL name & Version and the my own studty name, it presents: DLL load error: Likely missing dependency file what can be the reason for that. Thanks |

Sierra's Message Log ------------------------- Error loading D:\AMP\Lior\Data\jabot_futures.dll. Windows error code 126: The specified module could not be found. | 2017-08-24 15:17:16 * DLL likely has a missing dependency file. | 2017-08-24 15:17:16 * My custom DLL looks for another DLL that resides in the very same path (same folder), So it should find that DLL. Have any idea what should I look for ? Thanks |

If the DLL file actually exists, then usually this error is the result of a dependent DLL file which either does not exist or there is some problem loading it. We do not know why there would be a problem. We really do not recommend linking to other DLLs but use static linking instead.

>We really do not recommend linking to other DLLs but use static linking instead. I think differently but that's ok to not agree on everything. I managed to resolve the issue ... so I want to inform as it may assist other users of Sierra. It was about CRT DLL that was not present on a computer where only windows 10 OS is installed. I was required to install an SDK which includes the missing redistribution DLLs of MS. I could find it by using a tool called PESTUDIO (free on the web) that reports the DLL's missing dependencies. (there are few other such tools) Date Time Of Last Edit: 2017-08-25 13:34:37

It seems that Windows 10 v1809 (at least build 17763.437) has CRT DLL as default installation. I came across similar issue in my Custom Study when 32-bit DLL was fine and 64-bit would refuse to load on some client systems. I found that I had different compiler options for 32 and 64 bit DLL. My 32-bit was configured as /MT and 64-bit as /MD. More details at https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/c-runtime-library/crt-library-features?view=vs-2019 Cheers |

I have the same Windows 10 V1809 with the same error. Any chance there is a simple solution for this?

You need to contact the developer of the custom study in regards to this and you should also be running the current version of Sierra Chart. Only they can help you resolve this.
