We are not certain we are fully understanding the workflow that causes this.

Please verify the following, which is what we think we understand from the statements:
- New study is created per the code in post #7.
- The .cpp file is located in the 'ACS_Source' folder under your main Sierra Chart installation folder.
- Sierra Chart is running and you select "Analysis >> Build Custom Studies DLL". The "Build Advanced Custom Studies" window comes up.
- You select the .cpp file that contains the program for the "Files to Compile" on the "Build Advanced Custom Studies window.
- You select "Build >> Remote Build - Standard".
- The custom study is compiled without issue - You see the following lines in the "Build Output":
-- The remote build is complete
-- The build succeeded
-- The compiler response is empty
- You can add this study to a chart without any issue.
- You try to compile the study again and Sierra Chart crashes.
- Sierra Chart crashes every time you try to compile until you remove the .dll file from your 'Data' folder.
