Hi all, Indeed, the Windows environment is not the one where Pharo is working the best. Last week, I tried to install it on one of my coworker desktop and there was some issues that was solvable with some workarounds, it is temporary and the
windows support will be improved soon: I’m currently working on it, especially on making the Pharo launcher in a read only mode. This way, no administrative privileges will be required to run the launcher. In the meantime, to make the launcher working under Windows:

In reply to this post by Vincent.Blondeau
Vincent Many thanks – at last a clear explanation of how to get it going. I tried this with the Launcher I downloaded yesterday, and was able to launch the template versions of Pharo 6.1 and Pharo 7. The only problem was that I am not familiar with the Launcher interface, and I had to search around to open the settings menu – but that was my stupidity. Plus I *hate* the dark theme – but that’s just my weird taste. So going back to the original post in this thread, with this tweak the Launcher is not broken as regards actually launching images. I have not checked whether it is possible to uninstall it, as I found it was not possible yesterday and Petr Fischer also had difficulty with. At present I do not *want* to uninstall it, so that’s OK. All my tests on Windows 10 with all recent updates, on a 64-bit Intel Core i3 processor.

The only problem was that I am not familiar with the Launcher interface, and I had to search around to open the settings menu – but that was my stupidity. Plus I *hate* the dark theme – but that’s just my weird taste. Thanks Peter! Maybe, we could add a settings in the pharo launcher options to change the theme. I invite you to open a bug for this ;) So going back to the original post in this thread, with this tweak the Launcher is not broken as regards actually launching images. I have not checked whether it is possible to uninstall it, as
I found it was not possible yesterday and Petr Fischer also had difficulty with. At present I do not *want* to uninstall it, so that’s OK. AFAIK, the uninstall does not delete all the files. I have not tested it yet, but it will be the next step! All my tests on Windows 10 with all recent updates, on a 64-bit Intel Core i3 processor.

On Behalf Of Sean Glazier Do you need more smalltalkers on your team who have real-time control experience?
Hi Sean, I have no information about that. One thing you can do is to contact Chris Thorgrimsson (https://www.linkedin.com/in/chris-thorgrimsson-33734325/).
He will be more knowledgeable to help you. I am working in his team. I would love to contribute. I agree more windows support is needed What you can do is pick any issue here:
https://github.com/pharo-project/pharo-launcher/issues
And here is the project to package the applications that I plan to use on the launcher:
