Thanks for taking the time to fill out this bug report 🤗
Please make sure there aren't any open/closed issues for this topic 😃
Is this the right place to report this issue?
Yes. This issue is related to the Pharo Launcher's inability to fetch a Virtual Machine for a specific image distribution (Pharo 4.0), resulting in a 404 network error within the application.
Bug description
Pharo Launcher attempts to download a 64-bit Virtual Machine for Pharo 4.0 (Deprecated distribution), but the remote server returns a 404 Not Found error. The file pharo64-win-stable.zip seems to be missing or incorrectly linked for this specific version on Windows.
To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
Open Pharo Launcher.
Click on New.
Select Deprecated distributions.
Choose Pharo 4.0.
Click Create image.
The image downloads correctly, but when the Launcher tries to fetch the VM, the error "404 Not Found" appears.
Expected behavior
The Launcher should be able to find and download a compatible VM for Pharo 4.0 or, if it's no longer supported for 64-bit Windows, it should provide a fallback to a working 32-bit VM.
Screenshots
Version information:
- OS: Windows 11 Pro
- Launcher Version: 3.01
- Pharo Version 4.0 (Deprecated)
Expected development cost
Low. It likely requires updating the metadata/URL mapping in the Launcher's configuration or restoring the missing .zip file to the file server (files.pharo.org).
Additional context
The issue was reproduced on a Dell Optiplex 7060 Micro. Manual workarounds (like placing a VM in the private folder) are possible for advanced users, but the OOBE is broken for this distribution.
