Hello,
Ive developed a program that is available over the internet with the
specific instrutions to windows users to "drag and drop the image file
onto the squeak.exe file" seems simple enough to me, but it seems like
some people just want to double click everything no matter what you
say. LOL!
So, does anyone know where I can get a open source starter program
that can sit on their desktop and they can click on it and it starts
my image file. I know nothing about windows as ive been using only
linux for over 10 years, so this would need to be a simple text file I
could tinker with or something - is there such a thing?
There's no need for a "starter program", because the VM can do this.
There's a file named Squeak.ini (in the same directory as Squeak.exe)
which contains arguments for the VM on Windows. In this file you can add
or change the value of the ImageFile property to point to your image. For
example the Squeak 4.2 All-in-One contains the following entry:
ImageFile="Contents\Resources\Squeak4.2-10966.image"
If this is done, then you can add a shortcut to the desktop of the user,
which points to the VM executable. When the user double-clicks the
shortcut, the VM will open with the specified image.

Many thanks
