Pharo (SmallTalk) dont open Windows 8 - exe

I am having a problem with all the (portable, mountable, etc. ..) versions of Pharo (2.0).
I have a PC with Windows 8.1 (Desktop x64) and when trying to open Pharo I get the menu parameters to run it (see picture).
This is the portable version of Pharo who is in a Dropbox folder, and open the same exe from another PC (notebook) and runs well.
Pharo open right from the "sh" in Ubuntu, in this machine (desktop x64) and the notebook.
The problem persists if I download new / clean versions via Web of Pharo.

On the machine who I use Pharo (Notebook with Windows 7) is in the Dropbox folder (C:/Users/MyUser/Dropbox/Pharo). And it is the same directory as the desktop PC (Windows 8.1).
But I think I found what the problem is. When Pharo opened from the desktop (C:/Users/MyUser/Desktop/Pharo) did not walk, but when I ran from disk (C:/Pharo) worked well.
After I opened it from another disk folder (C:/AnyFolder/Pharo) and also worked.
But I went back to put it in user folder and didnt works (C:/Users/MyUser/Documents).
So the problem is the name of the folder "MyUser" (userfolder).
The userfolder in my PC has a tilde (ascento is Spanish) because it is a Spanish name.
I affirm that this is the problem because I created a folder with accent on the disk (C:/fólder/Pharo) and did not work.
And the problem has no solution but to change the name of the user folder. And is a little hard work.
Thank you.
"Solved" Problem...

Have a look at what's in the Pharo.ini file as this is what is pointing to the image.
[Global]
DeferUpdate=1
ShowConsole=0
DynamicConsole=1
ReduceCPUUsage=1
ReduceCPUInBackground=0
3ButtonMouse=0
1ButtonMouse=0
UseDirectSound=1
PriorityBoost=1
B3DXUsesOpenGL=0
CaseSensitiveFileMode=0
ImageFile=Contents\Resources\Pharo2.0-portable.image
Check the read/write status of the folder and files for the current user.
Are you running from a network drive? With a UNC path?
I just downloaded here on a Windows 8.1 x64 box and it works from a local folder.

Two possibilities to distinguish between are whether it is:
* some different machine
* running from the dropbox folder
Can you try copying it out of the dropbox folder to somewhere else on your C: drive?
Does the working machine have Pharo in a dropbox folder?

BDE administrator and Paradox 11

I've just upgraded from Windows 7 to windows 10. I used to use Paradox 5 with BDE administrator and things worked fine. However Paradox 5 didn't work with windows 10, so I upgraded it to Paradox 11. That's the context for what I'm going to ask next:
I'm trying to get Paradox to connect correctly to my BDE directory. I set a native configuration driver for paradox to a network folder through the BDE administrator, but when I open paradox and look in Settings>Preferences>BDE, the network control file directory is set to a generic folder C:\PROGRA~3\BORLAND\NETDIR\ instead of the network drive I defined in BDE administrator.
Is there some way to get this to work correctly, or force the network control file directory directly in Paradox? There's no options to edit it from the Preferences menu in the BDE subtab. I'm unable to use my queries unless this gets set correctly.
The best way is to load the odapi/Idapi/bde configuration file from the icon you use to start paradox. This allows you to save a configuration which has the network path stored for the net directory
The command line option to add is E.g.
-o x:\yourpath\bde.cfg
Which points to the file you saved from the bde administrator.
I’m guessing your on 64 bit windows which causes a few issues for paradox. Basically the registry entries for bde are not in the expected place in 64 bit windows. There is also a slight problem in the it gets installed into program files x86. This can be fixed by a few Mklink commands to symbolic link to x86 folders to the program files folders.
Edit: forgot to add that paradox 5 is a 16 bit app which is why it does not work in 64 bit windows.

Error installing tizen studio on windows 10

No matter which of the three tizen studio 2.0 installers I try they all don't work as they won't accept any path. The CLI installer gives the most detailed description:
** The directory you specify is not allowed to install the Tizen Studio. Some tools of the Tizen Studio will not properly work in the directory with administrator privilege or read-only access rights for your account.=> path
I have tried starting the installer with admin rights and owning the destination folders. Additionally, I switched from JDK 9 to 8.
Still, there seems no way to get the installer running. Any ideas what the reason could be? Thanks!
I managed to install tizen studio and the SDK using the %appdata% path.
If anyone else has the problem, try e.g.
C:\Users\YourName\AppData\Roaming\Samsung\tizen-studio
This is definitely a flaw Samsung should take care of!
I've successfully installed the IDE version with the following method:
Download Tizen Studio Web IDE installer
Open installer with 7-zip archive manager
You should find tizen-sdk.zip archive
Open it and extract it into the C:\tizen-studio folder
Create C:\tizen-studio-data folder
Create sdk.info file inside C:\tizen-studio folder
Put following lines into this file
TIZEN_SDK_INSTALLED_PATH=C:\tizen-studio
TIZEN_SDK_DATA_PATH=C:\tizen-studio-data
You can download packages with C:\tizen-studio\package-manager\package-manager.exe
You can start IDE from C:\tizen-studio\ide\TizenStudio.exe
This worked for me, hope this helps...
#Henry was almost correct and his scenario works on CLI/IDE installers.
And here are actual restrictions on Win10x64 tizen-studio 2.0 installation I've found:
pointed SDK location needs to be in your user directory. For example:
C:\Users\MrSmith\Tizen\tizen-studio
Data location could be anywhere, but in case of CLI installation, it will be near SDK folder.
CLI installation actually does unzip only and all further system configuration needs to be done manually. So, if you need only CLI, you could unzip "web-cli_Tizen_Studio_2.0_windows-64.exe" with 7zip or any other proper archiver where you want and do further manual configuration. (See here https://developer.tizen.org/development/tizen-studio/web-tools/cli)
Probably, if you login under Administrator you will be able to install SDK anywhere. Just "Run as administrator" doesn't work, at least for me.
My system params:
Win10 Pro x64
Oracle JDK 1.8.0_152
Have a fan ;)
I solved this problem that way:
create folder (eg Tizen_Studio)
inside created folder create new (tizen_studio and tizen_studio_data)
add all permissions for that folders for your windows account user
select folders in installation proccess
Enjoy!
The regular way which Samsung provides is working for me:
Make sure you have enough disk space (Tizen Studio needs about 700 MB
on Win10)
Create an empty folder with 2 empty subfolders (e.g. Tizen_IDE->studio (subfolder #1) -> data (subfolder #2)
The important part on Windows 10 is to navigate to YOUR users directory:
For example your user name is Bob. Go to C:\ -> Users -> Bob.
Then create there the empty folder "Tizen_Studio" with the 2 mentioned subfolders.
Check with right-clicking on the Tizen_Studio folder -> Properties -> Security if your Username (here Bob) is listed in groups and users. Click on your profile there in the security tab and look if the folder has full access rights inside the checkboxes (btw this should be automatically set if you choose the right described environment).
Now in the installer dialog you can choose the studio folder for the ide/sdk and the data folder for the installing data request path.
Thats it! Just important to install it inside your username folder!
I had this problem as well (on my Windows 8.1 machine), and ended up using the previous version of Tizen Studio Installer (version 1.3)
https://download.tizen.org/sdk/Installer/tizen-studio_1.3/
It even does not work for me in %APP_DATA% and also not running the installer with Administrative privileges.
But I finally found a solution which worked for me:
Create a new and folder somewhere
disable all inherit privileges on this folder
grant explicit all privileges for your users to this folder
remove all other privileges, especially these for Administrator
Use this folder for Installation
Write useful sofware for tizen ;-)
How bout removing 32 bit Java client and installing 64 bit on win 10?
Worked for me, no one seemed to notice that Installer opened in 7zip has an installer.jar which needs to be run with java client.
Thanks for the advises on opening installer with 7zip.

Which folders to upload to code repository if uploading from Windows but code was made on Mac OS X?

The source code was made on Mac OS X and when I open it on Windows or Linux, I see 2 folders.
Now, shall I upload both from Windows/Linux or I can omit _MACOSX folder?
These 2 folders are not visible on Mac OS X and I would not like to litter SVN nor to make problems to MAC OS X users.
Surely you've compressed folder on the Mac, and when you unzipped in windows appear to you.
It is created by Apple so spotlight can search the directory zip easy and faster.
To avoid this, there is an excellent application called YemuZip, which lets you create compressed files without added undesirable. Just drag the files to the window we want zipear and remember to select PC Compatible in the window that appears.

tortoise svn folder icons not coming

I have been experiencing a problem with tortoise .
when i checked out the code the tortoise icons usually green or red on the folders are not coming.Any solution???
Thanks in advance.
1 - Check If Your TortoiseSVN Settings are Correct
Right-Click in an SVN Folder >> TortoiseSVN >> Settings
Select Icon Overlays:
1. Status Cache to Default
2. Drive Types: (SELECT) Network Drive, Fixed Drive
2 - Find out if there are too many Icon Sets installed in Windows
Window allows up to 11 IconSets, if other programs like DropBox are installed they will hijack those spots
Since we are working in the registry, be careful not to edit things, unless you are sure!
Run regedit
Navigate to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/MICROSOFT/WINDOWS/EXPLORER/ShellIconOverlayIdentifiers
If there are more than 11 Folders, then you have too many IconSets
:: In my case, it was because of DropBox - the folder names were ("DropboxExt1","DropboxExt2") and my Tortoise was named (1TortoiseNormal,2TortoiseModified)--The problem is that Windows reads this and enables them based on alpha numeric order ('"' comes before '1' in the alphanumeric stack)
SOLUTION : If you had the same problem as me, you can simply rename the Dropbox registry listings. I renamed my Dropbox listings from('"DropboxExt1"') to ('X"DropboxExt1"'), just adding an 'X' to the beginning of the registry. >>Restart your machine to see the registry listing take effect.
Try also to repair the installation, if you upgraded from 1.6.8 or 1.6.9. Just re-launch the TortoisSVN installer and choose "Repair". There are known problems with overlay icons and TortoiseSVN upgrades (see this blog post).
If you have checked out your code onto a network, or removable drive, you need to set some preferences to see the icons.
Please refer the following link
http://tortoisesvn.net/node/97. I have also experienced simillar problem and the icon usually starts appearing after two or three reboots.
Also refer the following links
http://gavtaylor.co.uk/blog/missing-tortoise-svn-shell-icon-overlays
TortoiseSVN icons not showing up under Windows 7
You can go to TortoiseSVN>Settings>Icon Overlays>Status Cache.
If default is selected then change from default to shell. If shell is selected then change it from shell to default. it should fix it.
Maybe it depends on your platform? You need to install 64-bit TortoiseSVN if you want the TortoiseSVN Overlay icons in Windows Explorer, because Windows Explorer is 64-bit on Windows 64-bit.
see http://tortoisesvn.net/faq.html#nomenus
Make sure you have installed the x64 version of TortoiseSVN if you're
using XP or Vista 64-bit. Since the explorer on those OS versions is a
64-bit application, it can not load the 32-bit version of TortoiseSVN.
You can still keep the 32-bit version of TortoiseSVN installed on
those OS versions though: it will show up in the 32-bit applications
file-open/save dialogs of those applications.
In the recent versions of the TortoiseSVN, old _svn folders are deprecated. it's better to rename them to .svn.
attrib -h _svn
rename _svn .svn
attrib +h .svn

Error installing iKernel.exe

Has anybody come across this problem during an application install?
OS is Windows Server 2k3
I do have local Admin access and I have installed this application on other machines.
Any help would be much appreciated, as Google isn't helping much
This issue may occur if one or more of the following files are missing from the Windows\System32 folder:
Stdole32.tlb
Stdole2.tlb
Stdole.tlb
To resolve this issue, expand the appropriate file from the Windows Server 2003 Installation disk:
(using the command prompt)
Expand cd_drive_letter:\i386\filename.tl_ drive:\Windows\system32\filename.tlb
and then press ENTER.
filename is the name of the file that you want to expand
drive is the letter of the drive where Windows is installed
