[Pharo-project] Broken Pharo 1.4 and windows VM
I took the Pharo 1.3 one-click package from Pharo-project then I replaced the image with a Pharo 1.4 image. 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.

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:

Hi Eliot, No I am testing with Wine, and it answer $4. :) Hilaire Le 17/04/2012 02:26, Eliot Miranda a écrit :
