I tend to remember that PWS initializeAll actually first checks the
version by PWS checkVersion.  As to your case, it is *not necessary.  So
you should bypass that and everything will be fine. 

Actually I have been sending out the following message (kind of, not
exactly the wording) for several times

 o PWS initializeAll is not mandatory.  What it does is just to set up the
   following Servers after validating the version. 

   - AuthorizedServerAction
     For you to work on a web workspace to admin. the server remotely

   - ChatPage
     For live chating

   - ServerAction
     This is the default server

   - EmbeddedServerAction
     For you to have fun, examples including a factorial computing form

   - ScreenshotAction
     For you to impress people by showing the screenshot of the server
     remotely

   - CodeServer
     For you to access the code even if you are away from the server
     o smtlk - For you to read the code from an ordinary web client
     o chunk - For you to read the code from within squeak

   - Comment
     An example for group discussion

 o And thus, it is not needed if you don't need those functionalities.

It should work :-)
