Yes, unzip.
You do not need to rename the file. croquet.exe. Just double click and then it looks for the image file and launches it.
But I think you cannot go back to squeak.exe after you have started and saved the image with croquet.exe. (Others please correct me)
Squeak images saved by the CogVM will have a new image format. The current release (4.1.1) of SqueakVM for windows can't read such images. I built a VM which can be used to convert your images back to the old formatl. It's available here: http://leves.web.elte.hu/squeak/SqueakVM-Win32-4.4.9-2358-non-official-bin.z...
Have these changes been folded back into VMMaker trunk?

I agree. Does this imply that two all-in-one packages are needed, a Cog and an non-cog?

Is the difference between a Cog and non-Cog VM just the a different exe (for windows)? How compatible are the images for Cog and non-Cog? Could two executables be included in a single All-In-One package - ie named like SqueakClassic.exe & SqueakCog.exe ?

There are no changes, this is a VM built from the Trunk.

Support for Cog images (float word ordering) was added in these two VMMaker updates, and is present in any recent VM build (but the Windows VM has not been updated):
Name: VMMaker-dtl.189 Author: dtl Time: 6 October 2010, 12:17:37 pm UUID: 29192b6e-491d-4bc6-a209-5ba1c8625da0 Ancestors: VMMaker-dtl.188
VMMaker 4.3.3
Allow a standard interpreter VM to load and run an image that was saved from a Cog or StackInterpreter VM. On image load, the storage format of Float objects is returned to normalized word ordering (different from platform word order for little endian platforms) and unrecognized header flags are cleared. The image will be saved in standard interpreter format (image format 6504 for a 32-bit image), which may subsequently be loaded by a Cog or StackInterpreter VM.
Works for 32-bit Cog images (image format 6505) on both 32-bit and 64-bit host (compile -m32 or -m64). Support for 64-bit image formats is not yet implemented, see comment in #normalizeFloatOrderingInImage.

VMMaker 4.3.4
Fix #normalizeFloatOrderingInImage to work on 64-bit Squeak images. Float data storage in a 64-bit image is the same as for a 32 bit image, with the two 32-bit halves stored in the next two 32-bit words beginning at accessibleObjectAfter: floatOop (in the case of 64-bit memory, the two 32-bit halves occupy one object memory word, while a 32-bit object memory uses two). Therefore use the same logic in #normalizeFloatOrderingInImage for a 64-bit image.

Whoops, I forgot that I copied the source files for FilePlugin from Cog's branch, so this VM has stdio support.
