Problem with Pharo 1.3 in Windows

If on Windows you should really use the installer for Pharo 1.2.2.
from the download page. This will give you the two VM's: standard and Cog
and you can use them to start all images from your HD.

Since both have a different icon (also for the Pharo window)
you always know which one you start/running on.

Just give it a try, its simple.

Since the Pharo.exe and PharoCog.exe also have the version number
in the resource section you can right click on it in explorer
and check which code version/revision they have (see attached screenshot).

Bye
T.

Torsten, can you please document somewhere, how you chaging the version info?
I really can't understand how today's VMs are versioned, and what
version we could use for Pharo-branded VMs.
Probably with 'P' suffix?

*PLEASE* do not take the version numbering that is now in the Squeak VM.
Nobody understands why there is a Version 5 MacVM. Version 5? Squeak is at Verison 4, Pharo at 1.

We *neeeeeeed* for every version of Pharo a VM that has *just* the same version number.

Pharo 1.3 uses VM 1.3. 1.4 uses VM 1.4

Here's how we do it for our application:

rc myApp.rc
ResHacker.exe -addoverwrite myApp.exe, myApp.exe, myApp.res,
versioninfo,1,

where myApp.rc is the attached, actual values defined in config.h.
So it's not much magic needed :)

rc can be found as part of Visual Studio, and reshacker is freeware,
there's a beta with 64bit exe support.

Cheers,
Henry

even less magic. Because we don't need to hack existing .exe files
since we can reliably build them from scratch.

+1.

We *neeeeeeed* for every version of Pharo a VM that has *just* the same version number.

Pharo 1.3 uses VM 1.3. 1.4 uses VM 1.4
