Hi Christophe,

Yes, but:

1- I can���t execute it if I don���t have administrative rights ���������I have tried with the provided link. Before I get to the installation directory choice, windows prompt me an error telling me I must be an admin. It is probably some windows policy for all exe files, I know it is possible to bypass this as some applications do (Intellij for example), but it is usually easier to provide a zip;

2- 7-Zip can open this executable as it were a zip file, that���s how I manage to install Pharo Launcher.

����Program���� folder is the default location where to install apps on Windows.
If a user does not have admin rights, he can simply install it under its home directory.

Also there is the��UAC Virtualization fiasco that complicates installing upgrades.


Could we *please* install Windows PharoLauncher into user folders?


Users can choose to install Pharo Launcher where they wish.
We could choose another default location but not sure it is best option.

Nope, I don���t have any option of changing Pharo launcher installation. I double click the exe and receive a message telling me I need administrative rights. Can this be changed? It���s a deal breaker for those using Windows.

For Windows, Pharo is shipped with an installer. Its only goal is to ask you where to install Pharo. So yes, the installation directory is configurable.
Just to be sure, here the link to the installer:��http://files.pharo.org/platform/launcher/pharo_installer-1.0.1.exe
