I am not a software engineer. I have written and successfully compiled my study for years. However, this morning I'm encountering build failures following an update to my system of version 2982.
When I select the Build option: "Build with Visual C++ - Release" I get the following
=====
-- Starting build of Custom Studies Source files: test.cpp. -- 07:32:21

C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe /C "C:\SierraChart\ACS_Source\VisualCCompile.Bat"

when I select "Remote Build" the fail message is:
-- Starting remote build of Custom Studies Source files: test.cpp. 64-bit -- 07:36:21

Allow time for the server to compile the files and build the DLL.

Server: https://build.sierrachart.com
The remote build is complete.
The build failed.
