I suspect that the error you got referred to the .sources file,
which should be placed in the same directory as the virtual machine
and DLL's (since it can be shared by all your images).

Another trick that might work for you (it works on the Mac) is
to make a shortcut to the Squeak .exe file and leave it on your
desktop. You can then drop any image file onto it to start that
image. (I don't use Squeak on Window every day, but I think this
trick works there.)

Hope this helps!
