Title: Issues with primecoind
Post by: meta.p02 on July 10, 2013, 11:18:09 PM
Today, I successfully built primecoind.exe on Windows, applying some of the optimisations mentioned in the main thread.

However, when I try to run primecoind.exe -gen, it exits with the following error:
"Error: Error initializing wallet database environment C:\Users\[name]\AppData\Roaming\Primecoin!"

I tried searching for methods to fix this problem. With the bitcoin client, this could be fixed by running "primecoind-old.exe -detachdb" (mentioned in issue #2083), but with this it still does not work.

Has anyone else encountered this problem, and how would I fix it?
