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.
