Just to check - did you confirm that it worked on your C: drive (Iâm assuming yes - but given youâve had to cobble together a running version, its worth making sure to you have a good baseline). Iâm on OSX but donât have a separate drive - so I havenât notice that (I guess if I plugged in a portable drive, I could try that).

So I manage to get Launcher running with downloading pharolauncher zip and then downloading pharo 3 and joining the two folders. Launcher now runs but I dont want it to store images in my c drive so I go to preferences and tell it where in my D drive to save images (D:\software\PharoImages) I press enter and I am getting this error

I appreciate the aggravation you are putting up with.

My work pc is dual boot to ubuntu and win 7 . I am not a fan of linux either, loads of problems there but nowhere near as bad as windoom.
I need windoom because of a Greek OCR I use at work to scan legal documents. I have no choice other than to continue using it.
I dont care what the corporate world does or the fact that almost 100% of my fellow lawyers use windoom and some still DOS. Thats their problem :D
It would be nice to support what 95% of people use out there, but alas I cant take it anymore. Coding should be fun, Windoom kills my inner child. Sorry for those that have to tolerate this crap, but I am lucky enough not to .

I try to run pharo as administrator and pharo opens and exits immediately , it creates a stderr which contains the following
I found the folder you mentioned and I deleted it , now pharo does not open at all even when run without "run as administrator" Boy I hate Windoom. I also tried Tim link , nothing, pharo opens but does nothing, no gui, nothing. I know it opens because i can see its process in the task manager which i have to terminate manually. I do all my coding and art on macos, I only have windows at work so i can test my code on windoom too, but this was the last straw, I had enough with this uber crappy OS for 17 years now. I am dropping support for it and sticking to MacOS only. Thanks guys for your help but it does not worth it. I hope no other windows user experience my problem.
I empathize. I've been a Linux advocate for years, but never made the full desktop switch since I needed a Windows system for corporate compatibility. Then I got a mac-mini to experiment with iPad Mobile Device Management, and found it easier to get Latex working on it than on Windows (for processing Pillar output), and now I find myself using it for Pharo more every day, and my Windows box is starting to be neglected (except I still need to migrate my old Thunderbird email archive).
However success in the corporate world still hinges a lot on Windows compatibility. I will still have a go at updating PharoLauncher Installer to avoid this problem. cheers, Ben
P.S. @Tim, Your alternate-VM feature sound interesting. I'll check it out.
