Wasp simply does not work in Windows 10....

[fern]

I have tried everything: Shredder GUI, Arena, Fritz...
No way. Only explanation is the OS
Or not?
Somebody here tried Wasp in windows 10?

Did you ever follow my advice and allowed downloaded content first?
(security tab of the file...)

[fern]

Sorry, probably I did not read what you told me because I have no idea about that you are talking about...

Fern

[fern]

Of course I did that...

Fern, try running the .EXE as administrator. By doing this and using compatibility mode, it should run. If this is greek to you, let me know. If it does not work, well at least I tried.


Cheers,

Rob

[fern]

no, Robert, not greek. I am Not THAT ignorant. But when you install an exe in one GUI, the GUi simply take the exe. as it is in the file and use as it is, no way to intervene first...Or no?

Fern

Well, but I posted a link, which even had screenshots for unexperienced users...
The exe cannot be executed at all, if Windows thinks it is downloaded
unsecure content and it must be allowed in the security tab first.
(As usual right click is your friend - right click on the file...)

The link I gave was in that first thread you asked.

[fern]

Ok, I knew all that, thanks for reminding me, I went there, the file is NOT blocked in my comp.
Oh well, there are so many other strong engines I suppose I can live without wasp.

I don't know what might be different for me but both 32 and 64 bit versions ran under arena for me.

When you try to run it, do you get an error message?

From the console, try this and see what happens:

If you see any error message post it here.

I installed as UCI. Did you install as UCI or as Winboard?
