2. Double-clicked it and got "Windows Defender SmartScreen prevented an unrecognized app from starting." [1]
(btw, I didn't get this with the msi-installer generated from Advanced Installer which I linked above. But maybe that was because the msi-installer was created and installed on the same PC, so it was just trusting itself by default. The msi wasn't signed, so is the experience different on other people's machine?)

For this, I can get a signed version with Inria. It just requires manual signing by some Inria security unit.

So I will only do this for release versions

3. Clicked "More Info" which allowed me to click "Run Anyway" and got...
"To continue, enter admin user name and password" [2]
so this is not really suited to students doing a user-level install on locked down lab machines.

agree but with app signed, the problem should be solved

4. After entering the password for user "Admin" (i.e. not Administrator, just another account in Administrators group)
the install location was (as expected) given as....
"C:\Users\Admin\AppData\Local\PharoLauncher" [3]

Ah, I missed that. Not what I expected.

which again is not friendly to non-admin users.
But just for kicks, I changed the install location to...
  "C:\Users\Ben\AppData\Local\PharoLauncher"
and clicking on the PharoLauncher icon in the Start Menu
it opened okay, and downloaded a 60539 image and associated VM
and that image ran okay.

So its a step in the right direction, however...
the Start Menu shortcut entry is for All User per its location here...
C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\PharoLauncher
and the target of the shortcut is...
   C:\Users\Ben\AppData\Local\PharoLauncher\Pharo.exe
so it only worked coincidentally because I'm clicking the Start Menu icon as user "Ben"
and it would be broken for a second Standard User.

From my reading it will be a struggle to get NSIS working smoothly
for multiple use cases at different privilege levels. i.e. both non-admin and admin users.

I will probably give a change to AdvancedInstaller.
