No compiler found / empty compiler response after remote build

Hello Sierra Chart Support Team,

We are running into an issue when building studies/strategies using the Remote Build service.

The Remote Build completes successfully and reports:

“The remote build is complete.
The build succeeded.
The compiler response is empty.”

However, we also see a message indicating no compiler found, and as a result:

The study/strategy does not appear to execute as expected

There is no backtesting data or results generated

We’re trying to understand:

Why the compiler response would be empty if the build is reported as successful

Whether the “no compiler found” condition indicates a local configuration issue (e.g. Visual C++ components, permissions, or paths), even when using Remote Build

Whether this issue could directly cause strategies to load but produce no historical backtest results

Additional context:

We are relying on Remote Build, not a local compiler

The code builds without reported syntax errors

The problem is consistent across rebuilds

Could you please advise:

What conditions cause an empty compiler response?

What we should check to confirm the compiler and build environment are functioning correctly?

Whether this is a known cause of strategies not producing backtest output

Thank you for your help.

Best regards,
Lloyd

The remote build is complete.
The build succeeded.
The compiler response is empty.

These responses are normal and means everything finished correctly.

What exactly is the error you are seeing with regards to the "No Compiler Found"? If we can see an image of what you are seeing, it would help us understand better.
