Hi Robert,

On Windows 7 Home Premium SP1
I downloaded http://files.pharo.org/platform/Pharo3.0-win.zip (dated 2014-04-29).
Unzipped into an _empty_ directory.
Double-clicked pharo.exe.

and it runs without error. To help isolate your problem, could you repeat the above steps today in case there is some fix you haven't picked up.

When you say "and then the SOURCES" - I didn't need to do this I didn't need to do this as a step. Which files do you mean? The zip above has these files...
Pharo3.0.sources
Pharo3.0.changes
Pharo3.0.image

cheers -ben

so my problem on Windows 7 is ?

And no Sven, I did NOT touch the ini file.

Just duplicated a working LATEST pharo dir and put in this LATEST zip and then the SOURCES

So my error would be ?

I did a quick test on Windows 8.1 downloading http://files.pharo.org/platform/Pharo3.0-win.zip and it works perfectly !

Super.

We're very close now.
