I took the Pharo 1.3 one-click package from Pharo-project then I
replaced the image with a Pharo 1.4 image.
It looks like the code from DosFileDirectory>>preferencesRootPath is
broken or the the used VM does not return the expected value (Smalltalk
vm getSystemAttribute: 1002)
I tested with the COG VM for Windows from Pharo web site, the problem is
the same.
Fix may be easy but I don't know exactly the extent of the problem.
I have tested under Wine as I don't have windows.

osMajorVer := Smalltalk os osVersion first.
osMajorVer = $5 ifTrue: [ rootPath := 'C:\Documents and Settings\All
Users\Pharo\'].
osMajorVer = $6 ifTrue: [ rootPath := 'C:\ProgramData\Pharo\'].
