Blockchain.info wallet from 2014

[aroundtheblockchainer]

So I'm not a novice at following instructions, and I've followed all the instructions in the guides for btrecover but for some reason any time I click on seedrecover.py I get this screen:

then I click on open and nothing happens.

My issue is (relatively) simple. I have a bitcoin wallet from 2014 for which the 18 word mnemonic is incorrect. When I submit the mnemonic I have from all those years ago, I receive a Checksum Error. Is there any way someone can point me in the right direction to try and recover my mnemonic? I know that three of the eighteen words may have been copied incorrectly as they're not conventional English words, so I have somewhat of a head start. I just need to try and recover this mnemonic so I can access my wallet.

If anyone could please point me in the right direction, as I don't mind doing some research myself but so far 5 hours of research has returned zero results including btrecover not working as it should.

Thanks

you have to run it from the command line, press the windows icon on bottom left of your screen, type in cmd.exe and you will see a black box with "run command" or "command prompt" under it.

For all the options you will need to type after that you should read the btcrecover documentation for it here: https://github.com/gurnec/btcrecover/blob/master/docs/Seedrecover_Quick_Start_Guide.md

try the following

assoc | findstr "\.py"

You should get the following results:

.py=Python.File
.pyc=Python.CompiledFile
.pyo=Python.CompiledFile
.pyw=Python.NoConFile

and

ftype | findstr "Python"

should give you:

Python.CompiledFile="C:\Python27\python.exe" "%1" %*
Python.File="C:\Python27\python.exe" "%1" %*
Python.NoConFile="C:\Python27\pythonw.exe" "%1" %*

If any of those are missing, commands such as the following examples should fix them:

assoc .py=Python.File
ftype Python.File="C:\Python27\python.exe" "%1" %*

Also, in Windows Explorer, right click on a .py file and select Open with... and see if it says python.exe or vim.exe. If it's wrong, you should be able to change it there.

What version of Python are you using? It only works in 2.7.14 (NOT ANY OTHER!)

@aroundtheblockchainer did you get this figured out, do you need help?

[aroundtheblockchainer]

@rterwedo nope nearly 5 months later still haven't been able to figure it out. admittedly I haven't been focusing all my attention to this for all that time, and it's become increasingly likely that I never will be able to recover this key meaning that the money in that wallet is lost forever, so I'm kinda slowly giving up if I'm honest.
