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!!
that's very strange. Can someone please evaluate this expression on your Windows box and give us the result?

looks good to me. So, I don't understand Ben's problem.
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 disagree. The launcher should be installed with other applications. But the data is per-user. On Ubuntu, the launcher is happily installed under /usr/share/pharo-launcher and images are download to ~/.cache/Pharo/images.
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.
I hope someone else will try
