<p>On Windows, I put the VM and related files (libraries, release notes, ...) into %ProgramFiles%. This has the advantage of a persistent file path that does not change and it's easy to find via OpenWith, so I can associate the VM with the .image filetype.
It may be even more useful to put the VM into %LocalAppData% to get rid of UAC problems (the crash.dmp file is written into the same directory). From my point of view, an installer & updater for the VM would not be bad ...</p>

<div class="PlainText">Hi all,<br>
<br>
In Windows you just copy one folder to the next machine and everything<br>
works. Which btw is an advantage Squeak has over Windows software that<br>
needs installation.<br>
I had hoped that Linux Squeak would make one step into that direction,<br>
but there seem to be arguments against it (I'm not qualified to argue<br>
here).<br>
<br>
Best regards,<br>
