No, my mistake was that I didn't try to install them using Monticello.
In fact, I didn't even know what Monticello is or how it works. Sorry :-)

It works fine with Croquet. With Tweak I didn't try but I assume also  
works fine.

With the normal Squeak 3.8 it doesn't work, since it needs many VMMaker  
classes that are not in the image (no idea on how to get them).

The demos work, most of them, but not all.

Anyway, thanks a lot for the help so far.
