Re: [ANN] New Pharo VM released (v8.6.1)

by Christophe Demarey

Hi Tom, Pharo Launcher downloads VMs as a zip archive (HTTP GET) and then extract it to the desired path. Probably Kaspersky puts a flag on files downloaded from the web until you explicitly give your approbation that it is not a malicious software. Maybe you can configure Kaspersky to whitelist Pharo Launcher downloads? Check https://support.kaspersky.com/KAV/2020/en-us/68499.htm , sections On all websites except those specified /Â <>Manage exclusions <> Regards, Christophe. > Le 3 nov. 2020 Ã 22:45, Tom Wern <twern(a)umich.edu> a Ã©crit : > > Kapersky did not like updating Pharo Launcher ... specifically vms\90-x64\PharoConsole.exe which it quarantined and promptly deleted (Object name: VHO:Exploit.Win32.Agent.gen) > > Any idea what's going on? > > Tom Wern > > > > On Mon, Nov 2, 2020 at 10:49 AM tesonep(a)gmail.com <mailto:tesonep@gmail.com> <tesonep(a)gmail.com <mailto:tesonep@gmail.com>> wrote: > Hi, > this is an announcement of a new release of the Pharo VM.

Kapersky did not like updating Pharo Launcher ... specifically vms\90-x64\PharoConsole.exe which it quarantined and promptly deleted (Object name: VHO:Exploit.Win32.Agent.gen) Any idea what's going on?

Cool!! :) I just updated the launcher and got by default the new headless!! Just as a reminder, to update the launcher, you can go to the VM manager clicking on the VMs button, and update (e.g.) the 90-x64 vm After update, the VM should have todayâs date.

Hi, this is an announcement of a new release of the Pharo VM. This new version is available to be downloaded through get-pharo scripts and through the Pharo Launcher.
