Hi Hilaire, I guess you're running Windows 7 and that the VM is quite correctly answering something like 7.1 for Smalltalk vm getSystemAttribute: 1002 a.k.a. Smalltalk os osVersion. So I suspect the preferencesRootPath method needs to be updated to take into account Windows 7.

It looks like the code from DosFileDirectory>>preferencesRootPath is broken or the the used VM does not return the expected value (Smalltalk vm getSystemAttribute: 1002) I tested with the COG VM for Windows from Pharo web site, the problem is the same. Fix may be easy but I don't know exactly the extent of the problem. I have tested under Wine as I don't have windows.
