If the study shows up on one system, then there is no reason for it to not show up on another. Please do the following on the system where the study is not showing: - Select "Analysis >> Studies" - On the Chart Studies window, select "Add Custom Study" - Select "Window >> Message Log" to open the "Message Log" - At the bottom of the log should be information on what DLL's were found. Is the .dll file you moved to that system showing as found? At a minimum, you should see the "UserContributedStudies.dll" file listed - is this showing up?

The issue in these cases is that the DLL that you built does not use static linking and it has a dependent DLL. We are not sure what DLL it is dependent on. Although this DLL does not exist on the other machine. Make sure you use static linking for the C/C++ libraries. That would be the first step to get this resolved.
