My builds stopped working all of the sudden.

Build output:

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

Server: https://build.sierrachart.com

Thanks for that. I'm on Version 2661. So, the version probably isn't the problem.

As a workaround, I installed Visual Studio Community Edition.

This is now resolved.

However you may need to go to the Windows command line (Like powershell) and run this command:

ipconfig /flushDNS

i run ipconfig /flushDNS and get: ipconfig : The term 'ipconfig' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program.
Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again.
At line:1 char:1
+ ipconfig /flushDNS

Ok if you are having trouble running that command, then use Windows Command Prompt.

It should work.

We are aware of the problem. We are working on it. And we are not sure of the cause at this time.

Of course, we can always use the local build with VS studio... Just need to pay attention to the different ways it concatenates large files and array limitations, which I ran into, but at least we can keep building.
