I’m unable to open a Custom Studies File. I did a search and found some other messages related to this problem. I’ve checked the path name in the General Settings, and it is set correctly, and I downloaded the latest version. This is what is in the message log: 2024-05-14 02:54:26.425 | Error creating process C:\SierraChart\SierraChartTransActMA\NPP\notepad++.exe. Windows error code 2: The system cannot find the file specified. * 2024-05-14 02:54:26.425 | Error creating the Advanced Custom Studies editor process. * And this is the current path: Text Editor Path and Filename (Action) C:\SierraChart\NPP\Notepad++.exe The path in the message log lists a folder called SierraChartTransActMA, I don’t have that listed in my SierraChart folder on the C Drive. I have the NPP folder in the SierraChart folder and it contains Notepad++.exe which is in the Text Editor Path listed above. Also wanted to ask if I can delete the Notepad++.exe file in the NPP folder and replace it with a downloaded version that is newer v8.6.7 the one in the NPP folder is v7.8.2.

Please do the following: - Select "Analysis >> Build Custom Studies DLL" - On the window that comes up select "File >> Select Editor" and select "Yes" to the pop-up asking if you are sure. - On the window that comes up make sure the folder is set to the location where your notepad++.exe file is located. If it is not, then change the folder by selecting the "Folder" button. Select the correct folder for your Notepad++.exe file. - Select the Notepad++.exe file and then select the Open button. Then try to open the file you are wanting to edit. It should open in the Notepad++ executable you referenced above. You can use any editor you want and it can be located anywhere you want. You do not need to use the Notepad++ that is sent with Sierra Chart.
