I'm running Windows XP Hi Alistair, the easiest thing is to copy the squeak.exe and the SqueakFFIPrims.dll files in the same folder as Damien's image. Then drag and drop the .image file over squeak.exe. This should be enough to run the image (I'm on Linux, so I can't check). Once the image is running, it will show you the Squeak desktop window. There's also an option for running the image headless, so don't worry about it if you're planning to run that image on a server. Damien's image will show up with two Morphic windows already open: the Script Manager and the Preferences Browser. Close them by left-clicking on the 'X' button or minimize them by left-clicking on the 'O' button. Once you've cleared the desktop, left-click anywhere on it to bring up the main menu. From there, select Open...-Universe Browser. Once the universe browser window is open, select Web Development and the select the Seaside version you want to install (for example, Seaside 2.7.227). Click on the Select package button to select it for installation, the click on the Install selections button at the bottom of the window. Once the system has finished loading, you will have a working Seaside installation.

Interesting --- I had tried that, but since I hadn't worked out the rest of the instructions, I didn't notice anything different from starting ordinary Squeak. The rest was all very explicit, thanks... here's the sort of thing I'm running into (this is now-solved, but I imagine there are others following me who will make similar mistakes. It took me 5 minutes to work out how to do Giovanni Corriga wrote: select Web Development and select the Seaside version you want to install (for example, Seaside 2.7.227). The difficulty was understanding how the selection business works in Squeak. I kept clicking and double-clicking the text Web Development (the Windows habit) and all that would happen is the text would highlight and un-highlight. To my Windows-adapted eyes, the buttons don't look like buttons, they look like they could be anything. I clicked around on everything I could anyway. In the end, almost by accident, as I was giving up, I double-clicked on the little solid triangle to the left of the phrase Web Development and there was a flash of text on the screen as the list opened and closed, and something happened in one of the button areas ... and from that I was able to work out to go back and fiddle with the little triangle some more. After that, it all worked as described, including loading a bunch of stuff, getting my name and password for config and I now have run config inside Firefox locally, and have something that says Seaside showing on Firefox. The only reason I belabor this is to indicate the area of confusion a person (I can't be that atypical) will have coming to Squeak. I used Digitalk Smalltalk for 10 years (1987 - 1996), but that doesn't help me understand all the little visual conventions that are known to practiced Squeak users, let alone the Morphic interface (which I will have to face up to someday). In all cases, many thanks for taking the time to be so explicit. It would of course be much simpler to find someone to sit and do this with - I only wish there were such a person here in Salt Lake City. (If any of you know such a person, let me know!)

Re: [Newbies] how do I get Seaside up on my Squeak?
Hi Alistair: I tried Lukas' instructions and got the Seaside running ( on Windows XP). I used the web version of the 3.10 beta image available here: http://damien.cassou.free.fr/squeak-web/ Download this image into the same directory where you have Squeak 3.9.exe. Either by double-clicking the web-image or dropping it on the exe, you will get it running. The indication that you got the right version is that the Squeak desktop will have a welcome window with documentation and a Preference Browser opened. You can close these and pull out a workspace. Now execute WAKom startOn: 8080 as per Lukas' instructions and proceed. Hope this helps. By the way, this was my first posting on this mailing list. Thank you.
