Hi,  
I would like to build openPDC projects but it seems that `Data.dll`, `TimeSeriesFramework.dll`, `TVA.Core.dll` ,`TVA.PhasorProtocols.dll` ,`TVA.Security.dll`,`TVA.ServiceProcess.dll` and `TVA.Windows.dll` are not available. How to find or replace them?  
Here is a screenshot that might help:

Not sure what code is referencing those libraries, but whatever it is, it is very old.

I suggest you use Visual Studio (free Express version is fine), and open up the solution file in the source folder and build from there.

Thanks,

Thank you for your response. I build it from solution file in the source folder but there are errors in WPF.
