The new one-click on the CI server contains an *.ini file.

But it is named CogVM.ini and since the VM is called NBCog.exe it's useless.

Maybe this is already taken care of since I've seen a thread about the naming of the VM.

IMHO we should have: - Pharo.exe - Pharo.ini

and a resource section within the executable that contains the details about the VM type (Cog, NB, ...), the distributor and (file) version.

We already discussed this in 2011 (!) here:

http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.smalltalk.pharo.devel/49287

and it is a shame that we made no progress for such simple enhancements.

Yes, we made the one click work the last working build of the VMs we could find, which was NBCog. We need to get the build working and get the VM from there. This will be Pharo.exe And for 3.0 we should have -> real installers for every platform -> They come with a read-only image as part of the install that is started when you start the VM form e.g. the start menu -> Save then saves the VM like a document to the users dir -> klicking on such an image starts it ->This image is one file, simplifying everything.
