I popped over to Windows for a moment to try to make my CloudflareUn crossplatform,

and installed PharoLauncher from the downloads page...

I logged in as an Admin to do this, but when I open it I get an error...

�� ��"PrimitiveFailed: primitive #createDirectory: in WindowsStore failed"

where...

path ==>��"Path / 'C:' / 'Program Files (x86)' / 'Pharo' / 'pharo-local'"

encodedPath ==>��C:\Program Files (x86)\Pharo\pharo-local

(self isDirectory: parent)�� ==> true

in...

WindowsStore(DiskStore) >> createDirectory: path

| parent encodedPathString pathString result |

pathString := self stringFromPath: path.

encodedPathString := Primitives encode: pathString.

result := Primitives createDirectory: encodedPathString.

result

ifNil: [��

parent := path parent.

ifTrue: [ self signalFileExists: path ]

ifFalse: [ self signalDirectoryExists: path ] ].

(self isDirectory: parent)

ifFalse: [ ^ self signalDirectoryDoesNotExist: parent ].

self primitiveFailed ].

^ self

A few calls down the stack is�� OmSessioNStore>>resetWithStoreNamed:��

Does this happen for anyone else?

Also, I would expect trouble for Non-Admin users trying to use the Admin installed Pharo Launcher.trying to write to "pharo-local" under "Program Files".�� �� Does PharoLauncher have its own CI testing to ensure it can open okay and run an image?�� ��I'm glad to see it promoted in importance but with this it probably needs such CI testing of its own separate to the usual Pharo CI testing.�� On Windows such CI testing *should* run as a Non-Admin user.

btw, requiring Administrative privileges to install PharoLauncher is going to lock out people who don't have administrative control over their PCs e.g. University student labs. Wanting to run a quick demo for someone in a corporate office.�� Why don't we make it the same as OSX and Linux and be usable without Admin privileges.�� ��That would lower a barrier to entry.
