SmarThink v1.90 — March 2016 release of the engine. Major changes:
— additional endgame patterns recognition;
— improved beta pruning for depth = 1 nodes;
— fixed bug in "semi-interior node" recognition;
— better check evasions ordering;
— several optimizations including combined middlegame/endgame int eval vector;
— further eval tuning;
— development patterns handling.
Estimated ELO gain: +30-40.

It is the common and forever question)
At practice, current SmarThink data structures are ready for SMP, moreover in eval tuning mode it is SMP. But the final step — to implement something like YBW or Jamboree is still too stressing for me. I hope I will have enought courage to make it in 2.00

Just try lazy SMP, it works well (contrary to what people say), even SF people switched from YBW to lazy some time ago

Are you ok with previous version?..
I have Fritz14 GUI and it works well with ST. Have you tried to simply run engine executable?

libiomp5md.dll is needed.
PS: With the installed DLL-File I now can load the engine, but it doesn't run (also Fritz GUI).

I always get this problem with SmarThink - it never runs in Fritz.

Strangely with Fritz-8-GUI, everything is fine for me. With Fritz-7-GUI not.
