Just starting pharolauncher on windows still does not work (if you put it into the default "program" folder). On start, it tries to create a local direcitory "pharo-local" and does not have the permission to do so. You need to start it with admin-rights.
Why are we making it harder for Windows users in corporate environments by requiring them to have admin-rights they often won't have, while in Linux PharoLancher is installed into user folders? Also there is the UAC Virtualization fiasco that complicates installing upgrades. http://lists.pharo.org/pipermail/pharo-dev_lists.pharo.org/2014-January/0916... Could we *please* install Windows PharoLauncher into user folders? What reason is there not to? cheers -ben

I've tried it on Linux, and after the download has finished it cannot launch a Pharo 6.1 image. Find attached the PharoDebug.log
Seems it's searching for the sources file in a wrong location. *Pharo cannot locate the sources file named /home/gcotelli/Pharo/pharo-launcher/bin/lib/pharo/5.0-201707201942/PharoV60.sources.*
I have wondered for a while if sources files should searched for up the
directory hierarchy looking for a "/sources" folder to minimize the number of copies needed. cheers -ben
