Title: windows 4.1.5Version upgrade failed
Post by: DuoSuccess.com user on September 28, 2021, 06:25:56 AM
I downloaded windows 4.1.5, and the following prompts appeared .

failed to execute script pyi_rth_pkgres 。 my old versions of Windows have installed the KB2999226 Windows update.

After downloading the 3 wallets of Windows, the same prompt as above appears. How can I solve the upgrade problem.

It would have helped to tell what windows you have and what was the previous version of Electrum.
You are running it from source code?

One solution I've found (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/37815371/pyinstaller-failed-to-execute-script-pyi-rth-pkgres-and-missing-packages) is
Code:
pip uninstall pyinstaller
pip install https://github.com/pyinstaller/pyinstaller/archive/develop.zip

Maybe reinstalling/updating Python would also be an option.

All three versions (Stand-alone, Installer and Portable binaries) are built from the same source, so you won't get much difference when it comes with compatibility.
Try to install all of the available windows update for your "Old Version of Windows" (Windows7?).

-snip- my old versions of Windows have installed the KB2999226 Windows update.
See if you have both 64bit (x64) and 32 bit (x86) versions, but not if your Windows is 32-bit.
Links for Windows7:
  • 64-bit - https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=49093
  • 32-bit - https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=49077


If nothing works, use version 3.3.8 that should work in Windows7 until you've upgraded to Windows10/11.
Old version download link: https://download.electrum.org/3.3.8/ (https://download.electrum.org/3.3.8/)
  • electrum-3.3.8-setup.exe - Installer
  • electrum-3.3.8.exe - Stand-alone
  • electrum-3.3.8-portable.exe - Portable

You seem to have the same issue as MegaVlad had at the beginning of the month. Check out this thread (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5358851.0) for more information.

Can we assume that you are using Windows 7?
If you are, read the following posts and install what is required: 1 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5358851.msg57910564#msg57910564), 2 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5358851.msg57939314#msg57939314), 3 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5358851.msg57945579#msg57945579).

Let us know if that fixed the compatibility issues.
