Hi all, I just tested the dlls and it looks like it’s working. I say "looks like” only because my internet connection is a bit dodgy as I’m on a train. But it did start downloading and loading the github repos, so the fix works from my point of view. Cheers, George > Thank you both! > > We

This sounds great, Pablo. Just to clarify on how to test, if I'm using Pharo Launcher, do I just replace the .dll files from your .zip in C:\Users\{me}\Documents\Pharo\vms\80-x64 (and/or \70-x64)? On Thu, 5 Sep 2019 at 09:34, teso...@gmail.com wrote: > Hi all, > with Guille we have been
