The OSProcess implementation for Windows is incomplete. I recommend Levente's ProcessWrapper (http://www.squeaksource.com/ProcessWrapper/) as an alternative for Windows. Dave
Thanks for the links. Unfortunately none of these really explain what the problem with OSProcess is. I see there were attempts to try using ProcessWrapper instead of OSProcess on windows, but there's no feedback on that thread, so there may be a solution out there, but no one is using it.

Well some of the experience can be mitigated with tools like GitHub for Windows, but the main problem is that git with Pharo is incredibly unstable on Windows and crashes constantly. That's our experience with it so my colleague had to switch to pure filetree out of frustration. This however is NOT problem of git, it's problem of OSProcess. But it does render it almost unusable for now. (At least for us.)
What's the problem with OSProcess on windows?
