The ERT tries to list all winboard engines it finds in enginext.ini, for
each engine found it validates if the executable specified in enginepath
really exist. Unfortunatelly there is a small bug; when the enginepath
contains a parameter it thinks the file is not there. Workaround would be
to select another winboard engine, then in engine properties select the
correct engine. I will post another update soon.
