Can't use UAE Control

I followed the instructions here: http://www.vware.at/winuaehelp/tips/amigaprogs.htm
and copied UAE Control to the Utilities folder on the HDDs of the various different configurations I have running under WinUAE.

The icon shows in the folders OK, but it doesn't do anything. The page indicates it should bring up a window to allow me to swap disks and a few other things without using F-12 to bring up the control center.

Any suggestions about what I'm missing or doing wrong?

Thanx,

Do you have 'reqtools.library' in your system's libs folder?

reqtools.library was only present in one of my configurations, so I copied it into the libs folder on all the others.

UAE Control still does nothing on any of them.

I'm sure there's a simple solution to this, I just feel like an idiot not being able to figure it out.

Any more advice would be much appreciated.

There seems to be a bug in UAE-Control: it does not run from Workbench but only from CLI. As a workaround you can change the icon: select the icon and choose "Icon -> Information" from the menu. In OS 3.9 select "Start from -> Workbench" and remove the checkbox from "Wait for input". In WB 3.1 and below add a tooltype reading "CLI" (without the quotation marks). Note that WB 3.1 and below will always prompt for input, so you need to press enter after you double clicked the icon.

To those maintaining the source code: if the program was compiled with Dice C or a similar old compiler you might need to add the following to the end of the code in order to make it run from Workbench:

int wbmain (struct WBStartup *wbmsg)
{
return (main (0,(char **)wbmsg);
}

That seems to have done it.

Thanx:
