Pharo 7 image cannot write changes message on starup
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 ----- --- Regards, Sanjay -- Sent from: http://forum.world.st/Pharo-Smalltalk-Users-f1310670.html
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. On Jan 12, 2018 21:09, "Sanjay Minni" <sm@planage.com> wrote:

Hi Richard, the path for the image/changes/sources is C:\Users\Myself\Documents\DevArea\p7\Pharo7.0-32bit-eb0a6fb.changes. in which I have all the rights (this is a desktop in which I have admin rights) the pharo image messages also shows the same path (in my earlier post I had replaced with ...) the VM is is a separate directory which is in the path so what could be the issue here Richard Sargent wrote

I'm not regularly using Windows, but a workaround is to create a startup file with: SourceFiles close; ensureOpen in it. Cheers, Alistair
The message "... cannot write changes ... check that you have write permissions ..." is still there but I I install packages I can see .changes file increasing in size regards Sanjay Alistair Grant wrote

Right. This isn't a fix, it just opens the files after the initial attempt fails. Cheers, Alistair
