I just re-did it from scratch again...
I downloaded the image from http://minnow.cc.gatech.edu/squeak/2119

I *did not* load the updates on the page, to see if that's what happened in your case.   Perhaps that's why the package doesn't work.

I updated through all 3.4 updates, and saved the image.

I actually did this twice, once with the updates on the page, and
once without.  I successfully applied all updates in both cases.  I'm using the Halloween SqM, maybe something else crept in?

I've also tested with Anthony's VM, so you're off the hook, PhiHo.
Don't know why I didn't test that before.  Now I've thoroughly
tested hopefully all permutations.

Without the updates, you get the problem I outlined before, so it may just be a mea culpa.  With the updates, I get a different
error: a confirm dialog titled "Error: CompiledMethod2 resetChildProcessDictionary?" and choices of "Debug Process" and "Abort Process".

>     In either case, I think we need help from Anthony.

I added VI4 to the subject to catch his eye.  We now know that
the non-dll part of the problem is definitely in his ballpark.
