Hi Hilaire, I guess you're running Windows 7 and that the VM is quite correctly answering something like 7.1 for Smalltalk vm getSystemAttribute: 1002 a.k.a. Smalltalk os osVersion. So I suspect the preferencesRootPath method needs to be updated to take into account Windows 7. On Fri, Apr 13, 2012 at 1:21 PM, Hilaire Fernandes < hilaire.fernandes@edu.ge.ch> wrote:

It looks like the code from DosFileDirectory>>preferencesRootPath is broken or the the used VM does not return the expected value (Smalltalk vm getSystemAttribute: 1002)
I tested with the COG VM for Windows from Pharo web site, the problem is the same.
Fix may be easy but I don't know exactly the extent of the problem.
I have tested under Wine as I don't have windows.

osMajorVer := Smalltalk os osVersion first. osMajorVer = $5 ifTrue: [ rootPath := 'C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Pharo\']. osMajorVer = $6 ifTrue: [ rootPath := 'C:\ProgramData\Pharo\'].
