Sanjay I have had messages like this when I inadvertently tried to start two copies of the same image (in my case pharo 6.1). The first image was running happily in the background, the second gave this message (but still seemed to start OK). I am also on Windows 10, using 32-bit Pharo.

Hi Sanjay,

It depends on where you installed Pharo. The ... in the path cited is important. (And maybe Pharo elided the path.)

If the path involves either of the Program Files directories, they cannot be written by an unprivileged user/program.

Check your access rights on each directory or file in the path via their properties.

Hi

I get the following message when I try to startup the latest Pharo 7 image (32 bit VM in Windows).

"Information Pharo cannot write to the changes file named C:\...\Pharo7.0-32bit-eb0a6fb.changes. Please check that you have write permission for this file."

This is a desktop and there is really no issues o permissions What is wrong here

regards Sanjay
