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.

We apologize for this. We are resolving this right now.

You just need to update Sierra Chart again with Help >> Download Current Version.

We did make the necessary code change to add this file, but there was one step, we did not perform related to it.

Just give us a few more minutes.
