I'm a newbie so I apologize in advance if this is not the right way to ask my question. I did spend time on dotORG but its rather large and intimidating to find the answers to SIMPLE issues. I have followed Pharo since version 3 and way before that SmalltalkV and even earlier systems - so let me say how impressive the work of the Pharo team is. this is a fantastic product. I've run it on W7-W11 and Ubuntu all on x86 architecture machines. Now I'm running a new Snapdragon X elite laptop W11 and to my surprise I downloaded Pharo (and used the windows version)...I thought that windows PRISM would work, it didn't (for me)...so I edited the exe properties to use SAFE mode (also I tried the others, strict, very strict, too) but although the launcher seems to start ok, I get to the file picker for the image and then nothing. Please educate me here, what am I missing (something simple?) is there a version compiled for ARM64 on W11 ? Or am I going to run using emulation? Its probably rather simple, I hope so... Thank you for any help or pointers you can give me. Phil

Hi Philip, You can use the native Windows ARM64 vm, it is still not available through the launcher, we are working on it, but you can download it and use directly. The https://files.pharo.org/vm/pharo-spur64/Windows-ARM64/stable.zip is an stable version that should work smoothly for P10 / P11 / P12 and P13 Cheers, Pablo On Thu, Oct 24, 2024, 23:09 philip hunt <me@philiphunt.us> wrote: > I'm a newbie so I apologize in advance if this is not the right way to > ask my question.
