[FEEDBACK] Install Pharo on Windows

1829 posts

Hi,

I've just made an executable file for installing Pharo on Windows (in
program files, with a shortcut in the Start menu...). Please try
it and report problems:

https://ci.inria.fr/pharo-contribution/job/PharoLauncher-Win-Package/lastSuccessfulBuild/artifact/pharo-ci/pharo_installer.exe

Best,

Tried it and worked fine on Windows 7. Though, I had few issues with the launcher.

When I right click on an empty area of the Existing Images panel (and there is no image selected or the pane is empty), I got a MessageNotUnderstood: receiver of buildWithSpec is nil.

After I renamed an image, I got a DirectoryDoesNotExist with a path pointing to the old directory. But I can't reproduce it anymore.

Thats great Damien. I installed and ran it without a hitch. I installed
as a "Standard User" "Ben" which UAC then asked for to upgrade
credentials to my admin account "BenAdmin" to perform the install.

It picked up my existing images using Pharo. I updated the templates,
created and launched a new image. It even kept my the template list
between restarts of Pharo Launcher with the preference "Templates
cleared at startup" disabled - which is very cool.

Now from the Start menu > All Programs > Pharo folder
I felt a bit awkward clicking on Pharo when I knew it was actually
PharoLauncher. I think it would be good to keep the distinction between
Pharo the programming environment and PharoLauncher the application.
People should not be developing their own applications inside Pharo
Launcher, but should be developing inside Pharo images started from
Pharo Launcher.

The folder and file security settings look good and tight - for the
image and changes files the Users group has Read & Execute only with no
Write permissions. However I'm mildly concerned that changes in the
image (such as setting the debug flag and opening tools) persist - and
also mildly annoyed with myself that I can't work out how its happening.

A fix is to change TreeModel>>menu:shifted:
from...
(self allowMenuOnNoItem not and: [ self selectedItems isEmpty ])
ifTrue: [ ^ nil ].

to...
(self allowMenuOnNoItem not and: [ self selectedItems isEmpty ])
ifTrue: [ ^ MenuModel new ].

but I am not sure of the wider implications, or if a bug should be
logged for Launcher or Spec.

gotta run now, so other people can sleep.

What is Pharo for you? What would you like to see when you click on a
Pharo icon? A terminal saying that you didn't pass an image to the VM?
For me, the entry point to Pharo should be the launcher. Just like the
entry point to Eclipse is the workspace selector.

I agree with Damien and for sure Pharo is more than the development
environment we all know of. Meanwhile it is also a whole universe of
additional projects.

The Pharo launcher is the gate to the Pharo world once installed. One
can not only download and start the release images (2.0/3.0/...) of
Pharo but also additional project images like Moose, Roassal, Seaside, ...

Maybe if the initial list of images is empty the Launcher should suggest
to help download and start the latest Pharo base image release.

This may increase the first time experience, because not anybody knows
about this tree structure on the right and selecting the correct image first.

Always think of a newbee who has no glue about VM/images/metacello packages/CI/...
but who downloads the installer. He should be guided up to a running image
with a workspace where he can try his first baby steps like

Transcript show: 'HelloPharoWorld'

It is highly important that it is easy to get there, otherwise people will
turn away easily. So first impression counts!

Thanks

[launcher] Windows Installer UAC Virtualization problems

Just reporting a very strange experience. A while ago I installed Pharo
Launcher using the Windows Installer and its been working great. In the
meantime I have dropped into development mode and opened a few other
windows. Calling that one Image-A, today I wanted to throw away my
changes, so from folder "C:\Program Files (x86)\Pharo\" I deleted files
pharo.{image,changes} and dropped in files
pharolauncher.{image,changes}. now with a single image in the oflder I
expected it to just start up, but strangely I get presented with a
file-choice-dialog on folder "C:\Program Files (x86)\Pharo\" showing
pharo.image and pharolauncher.image to choose between, even though
Windows Explorer shows pharo.image does not exist.

So I renamed pharolauncher.image to pharo.image, and the
file-choice-dialog stops coming up, but it the old pharo.image that is
still opening. Now the REALLY weird thing to keep in mind as I describe
below a few things I've tried, is that the native window title bar
_always_ shows "Pharo! (C:\Program Files (x86)\Pharo\Pharo.image"

I have tried:
* a. Re-rerunning the PharoLauncher installer
* b. Running the PharoLauncher un-install, then re-running the installer.
* c. Starting from the Windows Start menu
* d. Double-clicking file "pharo.exe" in folder "C:\Program Files
(x86)\Pharo\"
* e. Dragging file "pharo.image" on top of file "pharo.exe"
* f. Deleting file "pharo.image" from folder "C:\Program Files
(x86)\Pharo\" - but double-clicking "pharo.exe" still starts
* g. Manually deleting whole folder "C:\Program Files (x86)\Pharo\" then
re-running the installer.
* h. When saving the image, the date on "C:\Program Files
(x86)\Pharo\pharo.image" is not being updated.
* i. Evaluating FileSystem workingDirectory --> "FileSystem
workingDirectory"

* j. After the folder "C:\Program Files (x86)\Pharo\" to
"C:\temp\Pharo\" then double-slicking on Pharo.exe opens the fresh
pharo.image as expected.
* k. Re-running the installer but using a different folder "C:\Program
Files (x86)\Pharo3\" works.

Its been a frustratingly surreal experience to investigate, for a while
not even believing what I was seeing. Now I operate under a non-admin
account (as should anyone with the smallest belief in security [1]) and
rely on UAC to elevate privileges during an install. So the problem
turned out to be with Microsoft's SILENT file virtualization. I found
an echo of the install in folder
"C:\Users\Ben\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files (x86)\Pharo\".
Deleting that folder resolved the shallow-problem, such the fresh
install was now running as expected.

However the deeper-problem is that this is likely to frustrate others in
the future - particularly in a corporate setting trying to update
PharoLauncher fighting multiple user's virtualized copies. So far it
seems the options are:

1. Add a manifest to the installer such that UAC virtualization is
turned off (per Task #5 [3]). Saving the image will now fail but avoid
submarine problems later on. Can the VM be told the image is read-only
and Save is disabled. Or if a save fails, could is fall back to the
Save As defaulting to the folder where PharoLauncher is managing its
other images.

There might be other issues to deal with the files Pharo.ini, stderr &
stdout being prevented from being written to in the normal course of
operation.

2. Install "User Only" per [4]. This is probably easiest to do this
close to Pharo 3 release.

sorry for answering so late.There are very few Microsoft Windows users
that reported anything about the Pharo launcher on Windows, so I guess
you are one of the only users on Windows. If you have time, please try
the approach you like better and keep me informed. The fact that the
Pharo 3 release is close is not relevant as the launcher is not part
of Pharo 3.

I would need a way to define the proxy settings. Otherwise I can not access any online resource.

(tested with the plain image, not with the pharo_installer.exe. I don't know if

the network access works if I use the installer.)

Hi Nicolai,

either we add the <pharoLauncherSettings> pragma to NetworkSystemSettings as I already suggested in

https://pharo.fogbugz.com/f/cases/12405/PharoLauncher-should-include-Network-settings-proxy-etc

which is the easiest solution but was denied by Damien since this would be in the base image.

Another (more clean) way would be to implement a custom settings class PhLNetworkSettings with the
<pharoLauncherSettings> pragma providing a similar interface for methods and delegating
to NetworkSystemSettings.

If you work on this please also create a "PharoLauncher-Core-Settings" category
and move PhLSettingBrowser into it. It is currently in 'PharoLauncher-Core-Commands' and it
is better to have an own category for settings related stuff.

Thx

Took me definitly more than 10 minutes to understand how the system settings browser work :)

Still unsure how to add the network settings in the launcher settings.

1. add <pharoLauncherSettings> to NetworkSystemSettings>>networkSettiOn:

(works these settings show up in the PHLSettingsBrowser)

2. Add another method in one of the PhlSettings classes with pragma
<pharoLauncherSettings> and call NetworkSystemSettings>>networkSettiOn:

from there?
(does not work)

I imagine. Did you see the chapter on deepintopharo?

Still unsure how to add the network settings in the launcher settings.

1. add <pharoLauncherSettings> to NetworkSystemSettings>>networkSettiOn:
(works these settings show up in the PHLSettingsBrowser)

2. Add another method in one of the PhlSettings classes with pragma
<pharoLauncherSettings> and call NetworkSystemSettings>>networkSettiOn:
from there?
(does not work)
