I got it back working doing the following simply: I deleted the ProDeo.uci file
from the \Engines directory, as well as the entire ProDeo subdirectory. I then
unzipped the original ProDeo.zip file into the engines directory, and from
Fritz, re-installed ProDeo as a UCI engine. It worked fine once more.
