Launching Pharo 4 image in new Pharo 5 Launcher fails
I've downloaded and installed the new Pharo 5 One Click environment. I've also downloaded the new Pharo 5 Launcher. I can build and run a Pharo 5 image from the launcher, but when I build or try to open a Pharo 4 image the launcher just goes away and the dev image is not opened. I suspect that I'm dealing with a missing VM issue, but I'm not sure. Can someone guide me on this issue? ----- Brad Selfridge -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/Launching-Pharo-4-image-in-new-Pharo-5-Launcher-fails-...

The Image file format changed to Spur for Pharo 5, so a different VM is required for Pharo 4 and Pharo 5. You will need to download Pharo4 VM separately and specify its path it under PharoLauncher settings. Just for completeness, could you detail where from you downloaded Pharo 5 and PharoLauncher. cheers -ben
The latest Pharo Launcher contains both VM's, IIUC. I just tried and I created/ran a 4.0 image next to my 5.0 and 6.0 images. This was on macOS.

Thanks. I was able to modify settings in the 5.0 launcher to point to my 4.0 VM and everything seems to be working now. ----- Brad Selfridge -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/Launching-Pharo-4-image-in-new-Pharo-5-Launcher-fails-...
