Title: Any solution to this problem - Failed to execute script run_electrum? Post by: Bitcoin_Arena on October 05, 2020, 10:16:23 PM I tried opening my electrum wallet today and it won't load. I just keep getting the "Failed to execute script run_electrum" error

Post by: 24Kt on October 05, 2020, 10:24:53 PM Do you want to try the newer version - 4.0.2 or 4.0.3? I tried both versions opening my wallet and didn't encounter any problem. I got in without any delay or issue. Also, is there a reason why you are sticking to the older version?

Error when executing Electrum (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5130553.0) Title: Re: Any solution to this problem - Failed to execute script run_electrum? Post by: Bitcoin_Arena on October 06, 2020, 12:23:19 AM >>snip<< Thanks. I think it was one of those windows background updates messing up with the wallets. So When I rebooted the computer and let the updates finish installing. The wallet now works just fine.Also, is there a reason why you are sticking to the older version? No big reason except maybe having to restore a number of my wallets, but I will soon do that.Title: Re: Any solution to this problem - Failed to execute script run_electrum?

You shouldn't need to restore anything... if you run the installer for 4.0.3, it'll just overwrite the old version of Electrum, but it won't remove/modify any wallet files and you'll be able to see all your existing wallets without needing to do anything.Wallets are stored in the datadir (on windows: %AppData%\Electrum)... the application binaries are stored in C:\Program Files\Electrum... It's the binaries that are modified when you update, the datadir is unchanged! |
