A couple of days back I installed it (or better, i made a polygot ini file for it) with no problems.
Its UCI.(and also Winboard,i just checked...)

Code: Select all

[PolyGlot]

EngineDir = C:\Documents and Settings\Fonzy\Mijn documenten\WBheadache\engines\plisk
EngineCommand = plisk_0.1.0.exe

book = false
BookFile = Performance.bin
logfile = plisk.log
log = false
[Engine]
OwnBook = true
Hash = 32

Hi Dr Wael Deeb,

First I want to apologize for the troubles Plisk is giving you. I, for better (or some might say for worse) use Arena as my testing medium. And it works fine on my machine. I use Arena 2.0.1. I also have 1.99beta5. To help me understand the problem, I have some question for you:

1) What exact version of Arena are you using?
2) What flavour of Plisk have you tried (32bit, 64bit, Phenom)?
3) Plisk leaves a log file behind, can I have that? Also Arena can produce a log (F4).
4) Try to run Plisk without an interface, see if it runs that way. It needs latest .NET installed on your machine.

Plisk supports both UCI and Xboard protocol natively. I use Xboard protocol to play on FICS, where I have well over 3000 games played now under Winboard.

Kind regards,
Vlad.

Thanks Vlad for the reply
I am using Arena 1.1 under Windows XP x64
When I start the engine a windows pops up saying:Error"CreateProcess"This application has failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect.
And here's the log file from Arena 1.1:

Code: Select all
