Unfortunately, I have not been able to get it to work with the 64 bit latest versions either. If you run SCBT it will successfully launch the 64-bit Sierra Chart, but then has an error finding the Open Chartbook window. If you have SC open your desired Chartbook on startup, then it can skip that, but trying to start a backtest results in an error for not detecting Sierra Chart running. This error is due to SC launching SierraChart_64 and SCBT looking for just "SierraChart". It seems that SCBT would need to be updated to use the new SC window interface (now that SC has their own dialog windows instead of the standard Windows interface), and also update the internal SCBT handle to refer to "SierraChart_64" instead of "SierraChart". If you contact Burkhard at ProfSoft then he will probably be willing to work with you. When I was using SCBT a few years ago he and I were able to diagnose and fix many changes to SC that broke SCBT at times. There have been quite a few changes to SC since then, but if you're willing to generate log files and send them to him, then he is pretty responsive. What I wrote above may be a start for the diagnostic process, but I am unable to go further at this time due to my own obligations. Sorry I can't do any more, but hopefully this helps.
