Well, it could be that it works, but that is by accident. When using backslashes instead of forward slashes, the path is not parsed correctly. Even FileSystem paths are represented differently (internally of course, when going to the file system, eventually you need backslashes on Windows). But I am not on Windows, so I am not placed well to discuss the actual experience.

Hello Sven
All I had to change is the one additional slash and it works now, thank you a lot.
So this works:
Metacello new baseline: 'OurProject'; repository: 'filetree:///C:\Users\User\Pharo\ourproject\repository'; load.
I got mislead by that when I add filetree repository via monticello GUI, it shows there as repository filetree://C:\Users\User\Pharo\ourproject\repository

Jan,
That is wishful thinking, there are no backslashes in URLs. Furthermore, the drive is not a host, but is part of the path, hence you need 3 backslashes:
Try:
'filetree:///C:/Users/User/Pharo/ourproject/repository' asUrl.
'file:///C:/Users/User/Pharo/ourproject/repository' asUrl asFileReference.

Hello
I use Windows 7 with Pharo 4 (latest image and VM) and I have our project in filetree on disc, repository is not yet created in monticello. When I run following code in playground, which should create and load it, I get error ZnPortNotANumber
Metacello new baseline: 'OurProject'; repository: 'filetree://C:\Users\User\Pharo\ourproject\repository'; load.

I would gladly provide any other information, or try anything, if needed.
