Ben can you open a bug entry. Now I can tell you that the launcher is one of the most complex application built in Pharo because it has to adapt to multiple OS, multiple version of OS, multiple versions of the images and the VM. For example we discover that we cannot open certain pharo 30 image with the pharo 30 vm but better with a pharo 40 vm.
