I'm glad it did the trick. And that's a VERY good question... Those files shouldn't be there, and it suggests that the files were downloaded/transferred over a network, then packaged into the zip. Why? (I don't know any other function that creates these, as I've only ever seen them when downloading on a Windows machine. They're not valid filenames (to Windows), which is an additional annoyance.) What I don't like about the look of it is that it has that kind of feel of a "man in the middle" type of attack. Not that this occurred, but it makes me a little uncomfortable. (Enough that I snapshotted my Vbox VM to test it on, so that I can destroy it afterward.) The maintainers might fill us in... -t CyrilFerlicot wrote

Hi Cyril,
I downloaded it and tried it on Win7 Pro 64bit (running in Virtualbox), and was able to open as expected.
However, looking in the zip file itself, I noticed about two dozen "*_Zone.Identifier" files that I was not expecting to see. They likely should not be there; they have something to do with IT security inspections on downloaded files, and I delete them as a matter of course whenever I see them (as part of a download). I'm not sure why the Pharo build process would have these.
I tried launching Pharo from this zip file before and after I removed these files... It worked in both cases; no corruption reported. However, since your error dialog was reporting one of these 'zone' files, I would trying removing them and see if that helps.
Thanks!
With your comment I succeeded to launch my image. What I needed to do was to open the zip file without extracting it, delete all the .Identifier files and extract it once done.
I wonder how the vm zip files end up with those files in them.
