i have a custom study that's been working fine. i have an older computer (windows server 2019, Intel 740qm chip)
i want to run sierra chart on, but it seems to have problems loading the study. i copied the entire sierrachart folder over from the other (working) computer, running the same OS. when i try to add the study, i see an error message something to the effect of

"Error Loading: ...\study.dll. File not found or may be missing SCDLLName."

This immediately made me think of the 64-bit conversion that happened a couple years ago. SC is looking for a file that doesn't exist (study.dll). it should be looking for the "study_64.dll" file. As far as i can tell, the intel 740qm chip is a 64-bit chip, and the OS is 64 bit only. So im a bit baffled as to what's going on here. SC is up-to-date, running the sierrachart_64.exe, verified the study_64.dll file is in the data folder. and if i recall correctly, i was able to run sierra chart previously on this computer, with windows 7/10.

Sierra Chart will automatically do this:
. it should be looking for the "study_64.dll" file.

There may be a missing DLL dependency file.

Also do you see the custom studies from that file listed in Analysis >> Studies >> Add Custom Study.
