Post From: ACSILTypes.h missing from ACS_Source – ACSIL compilation failing

Hello Sierra Chart Support,

I am having an issue compiling ACSIL studies after updating Sierra Chart.

My Sierra Chart version is 2955.

In my installation:

C:\SierraChart\ACS_Source\sierrachart.h

line 23 contains:

#include "ACSILTypes.h"

However, ACSILTypes.h does not exist in:

C:\SierraChart\ACS_Source\

I confirmed this using Command Prompt.

I also searched the entire ACS_Source folder and found that several other header files reference ACSILTypes.h, including:

ACSILCustomChartBars.h
ACSILDepthBars.h
IntradayRecord.h
scconstants.h
SCString.h
scstructures.h
SCSymbolData.h
sierrachart.h
VAPContainer.h

I first encountered this while trying to compile my custom study TradeMap.cpp.

To determine whether the problem was with my custom code, I also tried compiling Sierra Chart's built-in:

ExampleCustomStudies.cpp

using Build With Visual C++ – Release.

It failed with:

fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'ACSILTypes.h': No such file or directory

I also tested Remote Build – Standard, and it failed with the same error:

sierrachart.h:23:10: fatal error: ACSILTypes.h: No such file or directory

I have already updated Sierra Chart twice today, but the file is still missing.

Could you please advise where ACSILTypes.h is supposed to come from and how I can restore the correct ACSIL source/header files?

I have attached screenshots showing the missing file and the compilation errors.

Thank you.
