I compiled a custom study. The build was successful and the dll file shows in the Data folder but it does not show up in Analysis. I have done the Release dll and then allow load dll but it still doesn't show up under Analysis and restarted SC. I have done this multiple times with no success. Current version of SC. What's wrong ? thanks.

An additional bit of information: When I go to Open Custom DLL it goes to the ACS folder and not the Data folder. I have the Data folder selected under Paths so I don't understand why it is going to the ACS folder. When I change folders from ACS to Data, it shows nothing even with a Refresh.

Analysis? Custom studies show up under Analysis >> Studies, or F6, then Add Custom Study

I know that. I've only been using SC for 15 years or so...

build executed ok and put the dll into the Data folder. In windows explorer I can see the file in the Data folder. SC doesn't see it and it looks at the ACS folder when I go to open custom dll even after verifying the path in General Settings.

The DLL file will be put in the correct location after using Remote Build. So you are not moving the DLL file? Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support.

No, I'm not moving it. It went into the Data file all by itself after the Remote processing. I can see the file in windows explorer in the Data folder. SC doesn't see it when I go to New/Open Custom Studies File and it doesn't appear in the list of Studies under Analysis / F6 so I can't open it.

The dll file name doesn't look right. Try a simple name like test.cpp.
