[Pharo3] New Sources file starting 30841/30842

The thing is, my time is limited as well, and I just took 15 minutes to double-check that things work and to write an email to you.

IMHO you should try the official way using the fresh download (like in the movie) and tell us whether that works or not and report back. For some reason, you seem to not want to do that, and then you say we don't want to help, strange...

Hi Robert,

On Windows 7 Home Premium SP1
I downloaded http://files.pharo.org/platform/Pharo3.0-win.zip (dated 2014-04-29).
Unzipped into an _empty_ directory.
Double-clicked pharo.exe.

and it runs without error. To help isolate your problem, could you repeat the above steps today in case there is some fix you haven't picked up.

When you say "and then the SOURCES" - I didn't need to do this I didn't need to do this as a step. Which files do you mean? The zip above has these files...
Pharo3.0.sources
Pharo3.0.changes
Pharo3.0.image

cheers -ben

so my problem on Windows 7 is ?

And no Sven, I did NOT touch the ini file.

Just duplicated a working LATEST pharo dir and put in this LATEST zip and then the SOURCES

So my error would be ?

I did a quick test on Windows 8.1 downloading http://files.pharo.org/platform/Pharo3.0-win.zip and it works perfectly !

Super.

We're very close now.

Ben,

Just a quick reality check: Tonight I downloaded Pharo 3.0 from pharo-project.org and unzipped the files on a Windows 7 Starter netbook. Everything went fine: PharoV30.sources appeared instead of the old V20 version. Not that I expected otherwise, but I was curious and it never hurts to add another set of eyes.

Perhaps this thread is moot now that 30845 is (momentarily) the latest build?

Extra eyes are always useful. Thanks Tyler.

I'll just wait for Robert to sign off this works for him when unzipped
to an empty folder.

the problem is that I do not know a) what happens b) how to reproduce c) others tested on windows and it works.
