Hi Stef. ��I would have thought the VM initialize processing could be changed to avoid this problem, but I don't know the details ��:)

If the problem cannot be fixed, or if it will take time, it would be good to have the work-around described in the "Pharo By Example" book. That is, to comment out or delete the line "ImageFile=Contents\Resources\Pharo-1.0.image" in Pharo.ini. ��Without this fix, a new Smalltalker will hit the error as soon as they try to use the PBE.image file.

Image file management is one of those things that I like to get a clear understanding of at an early stage when learning a new dev environment.

This problem was reported on the squeak-vm mailing-list and there is not much we can do.
May be I'm wrong.
