Thanks for those. I don't much time right to devote, but managed to knock one off. And I learn't something new. I'd not known there was a setting for screen background. The other ones seem related to a problem dealing with user home folders containing non-ascii characters. Currently this seems only to affect a small number of people, but is a show stopper for them, and the numbers will grow with our hoped for growing popularity. As a work around, in the PharoLauncher settings can you set the directories like C:\PharoLauncher\images C:\PharoLaucnher\vms and report if that helps. Note, I bumped into an issue changing that setting myself recently where it tries to migrate the existing images from the old to the new folder, causing a catch-22 when your trying to do that to work around other problems. To work around that, I had to scroll down the debug stack to find where the migration was iterating through the image folders, and short circuit that with "Return entered value" from the context menu. Any value will do when the return value is not used. good luck. @PharoLauncher maintainers, can the change in this setting be made to succeed even if the migration fails. (I need to run right now) cheers -ben
Ben can you open a bug entry. Now I can tell you that the launcher is one of the most complex application built in Pharo because it has to adapt to multiple OS, multiple version of OS, multiple versions of the images and the VM. For example we discover that we cannot open certain pharo 30 image with the pharo 30 vm but better with a pharo 40 vm. Stef On Sun, Apr 15, 2018 at 6:58 AM, Ben Coman <btc@openinworld.com> wrote:

I don't understand what you mean. There is a setting that *gives* you the opportunity to decide.
and report if that helps.
What was the result of my suggestion provided above? Also, with the MSI I provided in the other link, can you try installing under C:\PharoLauncher. cheers -ben
"I don't understand what you mean.  There is a setting that *gives* you the opportunity to decide." I have no clue, I've never been able to actually have PharoLauncher start & work!!! ----------------- Benoît St-Jean Yahoo!
