Thank you for your quick reply.

Pre-release option is a no-go for me at the moment. I'm under v1877 (which since yesterday is not even official release anymore :) ).

In mean time I tried to install current version of Visual C++ as described in a bit outdated documentation https://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/UsingVisualCPlusPlus.php

It is fine, I can create DLL, but it takes a lot of clicking to unload DLL, generate new one and then re-load DLL. So I tried to use "Build >> Build with Visual C++" menu. Surprisingly it didn't work at all as batch file is getting generated each time and it has incorrect path to Visual C++ compiler. Hence changing batch file didn't help as it gets overwritten each time I choose that menu.

My next attempt was to install Visual C++ compiler via "Build >> Install Visual C++ Compiler" menu. This way I've got extra compiler (in different location from Visual Studio though). And yet again "Build >> Build with Visual C++" didn't work as path was incorrect in the batch file.

I think it would be prudent to allow user to set path to the compiler in somewhere like "Global Settings >> General Settings" or allow user to set it via PATH variable and rely on it.

Please note that my installation of Visual C++ were done into default location.

Thanks and best regards
