Good catch. probably by using RequestExecutionLevel = highest should solve the problem. > Also, when PharoLauncher is installed by an administrator and later used by a > standard user, I guess there may be problems with Pharo needing to write > changes to a restricted location??

I would rather prefer, in preference order: 1/ Pharo Launcher do not need to write data, 2/ if files need to be written, they should go to a Pharo data folder (e.g. $LocalAppdata\Programs\PharoLauncher) or to the user apps setting folder. What I would like is that a Pharo image writes data where it should > > btw, where are the NSIS source files accessible? https://github.com/pharo-project/pharo-build-scripts/tree/master/windows-installer > Can they be dropped in the PharoLauncher git repo? No because they are shared and used with other Pharo build scripts. Thanks for the information. Cheers, Christophe
