If a customer experience an issue with compilation errors for all his/her scripts in PowerLanguage Editor, most likely he/she has faced one of two compilation problems '''(errLine 0, errColumn 0, errLineEnd 0, errColumnEnd 0)''':
* '''Compilation issue connected with GCC short paths'''.
* '''Compilation issue connected with Virtual Allocation'''
It is extremely easy to check if you have one of the issues:
# In '''PowerLanguage Editor''' main menu go to '''File''', then '''New...''' and in the pop up window choose any study type.
# Give it any name.
# Without putting a single keyword into the completely empty study, click on the '''Compile''' button in the ToolBar of PowerLanguage Editor.
# If the fresh blank study is compiled with error, it means that you have one of two compilation problems.
Depending on which type of compilation problem you have there are two ways to fix them. To find out which one you have:
# Open '''C:\ProgramData\TS Support\MultiCharts\StudyServer\Studies''' ''(for Windows 7)'' or '''%allusersprofile%\Application Data\TS Support\MultiCharts\StudyServer\Studies''' ''(for Windows XP)''.
# Open the file '''compiler_error.log'''.
:* If the file contains lines similar to:<br>"Internal error in mingw32_gt_pch_use_address, at config/i386/host-mingw32.c:151: VirtualAlloc (commit):"<br>"C:\PROGRA~1\TSSUPP~1\MULTIC~1\STUDYS~1\Studies\SrcCpp\INDICA~1\I_SBTE~1.CPP:1:fatal error: can't read PCH file: Invalid argument. Compilation terminated."<br>'''It means that this is the issue with virtual allocation.'''
:* If the file contains lines similar to:<br>"C:\PROGRA~1\TS Support\MultiCharts\make\MinGW\bin\dlltool: Can't open def file: C:\PROGRA~1\TS"<br>"C:\PROGRA~1\TS Support\MultiCharts\make\MinGW\bin\dllwrap.exe"<br>"C:\PROGRA~1\TS Support\MultiCharts\make\MinGW\bin\dlltool exited with status 1"<br>'''It means that this is the issue with GCC short paths.'''

<br>

== Compilation issue connected with Virtual Allocation==

To fix the issue:
# Close all MultiCharts products and make sure all [[MultiCharts Processes]] are finished in Windows Task Manager.
# Download the following zip archive onto your machine and unpack it. For MC 7.4 Release: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/26968921/MakeGCH_elapiver_155_74.zip
# Run '''Updater.exe''', click on '''Update''', then make sure there are '''no errors''' in the log and click on '''Close'''.

== Compilation Issue Connected with GCC Short Paths ==

When MultiCharts is in the process of installation on your computer it checks '''NtfsDisable8dot3NameCreation''' key in the registry: '''HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\FileSystem'''. if the value of the key is '''1''', it may cause the issue. If it is '''1''', the following message pops up:

''The installer has detected that NtfsDisable8dot3NameCreation registry key in HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\FileSystem is set to 1. It may cause a compiler issue: studies may not be compiled in PowerLanguage Editor.<br>
Click Next to continue or Cancel to exit the Setup Wizard and change registry key above to zero using regedit utility (click Windows Start button, select Run, type regedit and press Enter), restart the computer and run installer again.''

To fix the issue:
# Close all MultiCharts products and make sure all [[MultiCharts Processes]] are finished in Windows Task Manager.
# Click on '''Windows Start button''', then '''Run''' and type '''Regeidit'''. Press '''Enter'''.
# In the Registry open the path: '''HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\FileSystem'''
# Change the value of the '''NtfsDisable8dot3NameCreation''' key to '''0'''.
# Reboot the operation system.
# After the system is rebooted, do not launch Multicharts. Open '''C:\ProgramData\TS Support\MultiCharts\StudyServer\Studies''' ''(for Windows 7)'' or '''%allusersprofile%\Application Data\TS Support\MultiCharts\StudyServer\Studies''' ''(for Windows XP)''.
# Open the '''compiler_error.log file'''. Depending on what path is written in the file you will have to rename several folders in one of 2 possible locations:
:* '''C:\ProgramData\TS Support\...''' (example for Windows 7); '''C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\TS Support\...''' (example for Windows XP)
:* '''C:\Program Files\TS Support\...''' (example for any Windows)
::# Rename the '''TS Support''' folder into '''TS SupportOld'''. Create new folder '''TS Support'''. Move everything from '''TS SupportOld''' into the new '''TS Support'''. Delete the '''TS SupportOld''' folder.
::# Open the new '''TS Support''' folder. Rename the '''MultiCharts''' folder into '''MultiChartsOld'''. Create new folder '''MultiCharts'''. Move everything from '''MultiChartsOld''' into the new '''MultiCharts'''. Delete the '''MultiChartsOld''' folder.
::# Open the new '''MultiCharts''' folder. Rename the '''StudyServer''' folder into '''StudyServerOld'''. Create new folder '''StudyServer'''. Move everything from '''StudyServerOld''' into the new '''StudyServer'''. Delete the '''StudyServerOld''' folder.
Run PowerLanguage, create new study (any type) and try to compile it. Should be compiled without any errors. If the issue persists, please contact our support team in [[http://messenger.providesupport.com/messenger/tssupport.html|Live Chat]].
