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.
Do you have enough balls to call out Steph for his obviously wrong decision to push Launcher down the users' throats and make him revert to working installers / zips? Cause AFAICT there's the bottleneck atm.
First, it was MY decision. Iâm pushing launcher as the default download for Pharo since year now. Do I am happy with it not working on windows right now? Of course not. But pushing it also in windows has already forced us to fix some bugs there and a new version of the launcher (and a better Pharo on windows) and at the result will be good. I was going to suspend the launcher as the default download until a better version arrived, but Iâve been told that will happen this week, so I will wait. Second, we have a lot of bottlenecks, but is true this is important. Third, please restrain your self to talk like that in the future. Is rude and unnecessary. Esteban

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.
