Print-evaluate this: '<?xml version="1.0"?> <drgenius><drgeo name="Triangle homothétie"/></drgenius>' parseXML and you should get (with any recent XMLParser lib): <?xml version="1.0"?><drgenius><drgeo name="Triangle homothÃ©tie"/></drgenius> If you don't want entity replacement, set #replacesContentEntityReferences: to false. Also consider using XMLParser's built-in file reading support: #parseFileNamed:/#onFileNamed:.

Re: [Pharo-users] Windows installation broken?

by horrido

This is what concerns me. I don't care that there are workarounds (undocumented or hard to find). I care that Windows is a most popular development platform. I care that newcomers to Pharo easily find what they need to get started. I care about Pharo's reputation. The last thing Pharo needs is a black eye.

I wonder how many people tried Pharo, thought "Oh this is totally broken" and are never going to give it a second (or third) chance.

The current website shows the wrong link, the installer for the bleeding edge is the wrong one in files. The situation on the Windows front is very very bad and not really improving. That being said, the installer on the CI is the right one and works. so, steal the installer from here: https://ci.inria.fr/pharo-ci-jenkins2/job/PharoLauncher This is the one you want: https://ci.inria.fr/pharo-ci-jenkins2/job/PharoLauncher/ For having the latest lastet everything, go to the launcher settings, get into the devmode and open monticello and load the latest packages.

I have a challenge for you: try to uninstall it :) Look at this thread for Win10 workarounds: https://twitter.com/smalltalkdev/status/978973863332798464 If you do not like workarounds, stay with standalone downloads (or zeroconf for Linux). pf > Someone told me that they had difficulties installing Pharo under Windows.
