You are confusing source files (.cpp) with executables (.dll). Executable files (.dll) need to go in the "Data" folder in order to be used in Sierra Chart. Source files (.cpp) go into the ACS_Source folder under the main Sierra Chart installation folder. You would then need to build the executables from those source files. As has been stated, if you are able to build the executables (.dll) on the Desktop system you have, then you can transfer those to the VPS system and put them in the 'Data' folder. This will resolve the short-term issue for you. Continuing with why you are not able to see the .cpp files on the VPS in the "Select an Advanced Custom Studies File(s)" window, let's try one more thing. Please do the following on the VPS system. - Open Notepad (just basic Windows Notepad) - Enter the following at the top of the file: Hello - Save the file to C:\SierraChart\ACS_Source\Nothing.cpp - Close the notepad application. - Start (or Restart) Sierra Chart - Select "Analysis >> Build Custom Studies DLL" - Select the button for "Select Files" - In the window that comes up to select the files, look for the file named "Nothing.cpp". It should be at the top of the list by default. Let us know if the file shows up there or not. -- By the way - some of the responses are from other users that are trying to help as well.
