Regarding Windows... Last that I looked, the PharoLauncher image is installed into the "Program Files" System Folder.�� This causes a problem since when a PharoLauncher Image is saved by a Standard User, they cannot write to the System Folder so Windows *fakes* it and actually writes to a User Fodler, but makes it look like the file is in the System Folder. That is, the Standard User is looking at a Fake System Folder!!
So when as an Administrator you update PharoLauncher by rerunning the installer, ��the update happily installs into the System Folder, but the Standard User is still looking at the Fake System Folder, so they only see the old version, not the newly installed version. ��
This confused me for quite a while - even as an IT Administrator of 15 years.�� Its likely to cause chaos and pain for others down the track. So I recommend that the installer be changed so that the PharoLauncher Image is installed into a User Folder - at least by default, and maybe as the only option. ��
I had meant to fix this in PharoLauncher myself, and also would offer to test it - but unfortunately I currently don't have access to a Windows machine.
