SCID Chess Engine Problem
I'm trying to run an analysis engine on SCID through tools-> analysis engine then crafty, but there there is a message that says "unable to start the program: wcrafty.exe" . I currently have windows vista. Thank you for my post any help would be highly appreciated.

Re: SCID Chess Engine Problem
on my SCID 3.6.22 crafty runs without problems. But it is crafty.exe, not wcrafty.exe. Was wcrafty.exe preinstalled with your SCID version?claytonwsmith wrote:I'm trying to run an analysis engine on SCID through tools-> analysis engine then crafty, but there there is a message that says "unable to start the program: wcrafty.exe" .

And is crafty.exe working? Perhaps you first have to edit it in the engine list...claytonwsmith wrote:Yes wcrafty.exe was installed with the previous version.

Re: SCID Chess Engine Problem
Try running wcrafty.exe from the command line or double clicking
on it just to see that wcrafty runs. If it does then the problem is
in the start up method from SCID otherwise try another crafty.
If wcrafty doesn't work from the commad line, right click on it and
check its properties.
