Well Ill be a multi coloured horn back toad. It works. Not without a significant level of frustration though. Mostly because of Microsoft and the order in which you have to install the software.

DO NOT install Visual Studio until you have installed vc_redist.x64.exe by executing this from sierra:
Build >> Install Visual C++ Compiler.
If you f*** this up and install VS first then you have to uninstall everything and manually uninstall C++ 2015 redistributable from the command line:
vc_redist.x64.exe /uninstall

Then re-install the Visual C++ Compiler. Only then can you think about Visual Studio.
Remember kids, none of this will work unless you have updated to the latest version of Sierra chart. Dont go rage monkey like I did....just do it in that order and save yourself a world of frustration.
