At the moment, I don't have AnMon, but it's a very good program.  What you
probably want to do is go to Frank Quisinsky's download page and get a download
of his file "config.zip" and it'll have all the information about how to run all
of the Winboard engines, if the engine has a configuration file (ini, cfg, init,
etc.) there'll be a directory for that program containing Frank's example of how
to edit that file.

And then (not in a directory I think) there'll be Frank's "winboard.ini" file,
and that'll often be the key to solving odd little Winboard engine file
problems.  This is what he has for AnMon:

\"AnMon_503 xboard\" /fd=c:\\Programme\\Winboard\\AnMon

So you're problem may be as simple as not having the xboard command line
parrameter in there.  As I recall, you might have to turn on AnMon's opening
book in it's cfg file too, I havn't looked at it in a while though.

But I don't think that your problem is related to where you got your download.
