Re: [Pharo-users] [Pharo-Launcher] call for tests on Windows
The good news is that the same version of Pharo Launcher worked essentially perfectly under Windows 10. As expected, the launcher was installed in AppData\Local. However, I continue to find an AppData\Roaming\pharo directory created when the launcher was installed. Its contents are as I described in the issue created for the Windows 7 installation. Suggestion: Some of the lists are quite long. It might be useful to be able to sort them by e.g. name or date of last change, both ascending and descending.

Can't we use something like AWS S3 to store the files of files.pharo.org? > We do not have windows users around so it’s hard to know if it works outside > our tests boxes. Once it finishes I'll let you know. I'm one the few out there still using Windows 7 Pro. Regards, -- Esteban A. Maringolo
Re: [Pharo-users] [Pharo-Launcher] call for tests on Windows
Microsoft allows devs to download VMs for Windows 7, 8, & 10 that work with VirtualBox, Vagrant, VmWare, Parallels, & HyperV here: https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/tools/vms/ They last 90 days and you can install Pharo on them. Their real purpose is to test websites on IE. demarey wrote > Hi, > > Regarding the various problems Pharo Launchers had on Windows, we worked > on a new installer based on Advanced Installer [1] to avoid UAC (User > Account Control) and write permissions problems.

Re: [Pharo-users] [Pharo-Launcher] call for tests on Windows
I ran the launcher against my Windows 7 office computer and have created an issue with my feedback. https://github.com/pharo-project/pharo-launcher/issues/93 On Mon, Apr 16, 2018 at 7:13 AM, Christophe Demarey < christophe.dema...@inria.fr> wrote: > Hi, > > Regarding the various problems Pharo Launchers had on Windows, we worked > on a new installer based on Advanced Installer [1] to avoid UAC (User > Account Control) and write permissions problems.
