The files must be in the shredder folder, ie.

Shredder.exe (Adapter, 115KB)
Shredder.init
Shredder.rc
(Shredder.bmp)

Remember that all the files must have the same prefix, eg. Shredder.*.

Only needed in c:\fritz\engines.

The init file should look something like this:

[Parameter]
CommandLine =
Author = Stefan M. Kahlen
Engine = Shredder 5
Debug = False
Logfile = False

[Support]
AnalyzeMode = True
HasMoveNow = True

Is this the correct path? Is the engine.exe file located in this folder?

Insert your tablebase path.

Yes, the adapter is sh5.exe.

That is handled by Shredder.rc. Fritz communicates with the adapter and the
adapter asks the Shredder engine.

Hope it helps.
