Hi Christophe,

Yes, but:

1- I can’t execute it if I don’t have administrative rights — I have tried
with the provided link. Before I get to the installation directory choice,
windows prompt me an error telling me I must be an admin. It is probably
some windows policy for all exe files, I know it is possible to bypass this
as some applications do (Intellij for example), but it is usually easier to
provide a zip;

2- 7-Zip can open this executable as it were a zip file, that’s how I
manage to install Pharo Launcher.
