Decrypt_bitcoinj_seed did not want to open on windows 8
I installed python 2.7, I downloaded decrypt_bitcoinj_seed-master and then I executed the commands in cmd and then I clicked: Decrypt_bitcoinj_seed.pyw and it does not open, it does nothing, I simply click several times and it does not open and does nothing.
NOTE: I had done all this before on the other computer and everything went fine, I decoded the bitcoin wallet backup and extracted the seed, but on my computer do not want it right, because the file does not open, some light?
Could you see if there are any error messages if you launch it from a command prompt? E.g. open a Command Prompt (Start, then type cmd
to find Command Prompt), then type:
cd Downloads\decrypt_bitcoinj_seed-master
C:\Python27\python.exe decrypt_bitcoinj_seed.pyw
(That first line may be different for you depending on where the decrypt_bitcoinj_seed-master
folder is on your PC.)
Thanks.
I have a similar issue on win 10 (creator update) I have python 3.6 but also 2.7 installed. Went to c:/python27 and ran the command and got:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\pathtothepythonscript\decrypt_bitcoinj_seed.pyw", line 42, in <module>
import aespython.key_expander, aespython.aes_cipher, aespython.cbc_mode
ImportError: No module named aespython.key_expander
I ran the powershell command to get all prereq. Perhaps because I only saved the decrypt_bitcoinj_seed.pyw file because the link at the readme.md installation chapter is a 404:
Just download the latest version from https://github.com/gurnec/decrypt_bitcoinj_seed/archive/master.zip and unzip it to a location of your choice
Fixed it by downloading a zip of the repo and extracting all other related files in the same dir. It runs now. Thank you. Hope it will work 👍
You were too fast for me to respond 😄
But yes, you need the full package. Thanks for bringing the broken link to my attention, it's either been broken this whole time, or GitHub changed the way it parses Markdown links, not sure which but I'll fix it now.
If it doesn't work, let me know!
@gurnec After I downloaded the correct version of python, it opened and ran the software correctly.
Thank you very much!
