Just an update. I upgraded to the latest bitcoin qt wallet and it totally fucked my wallet.dat file up. So, I rolled it back. When I tried to import the wallet I kept getting the wallet.dat file is corrupt error. So, this is what I did.
While the new, empty, BTC core app is running, I copied my old files (including wallet.dat) into the C:\Users\XXX\AppData\Roaming\Bitcoin file.
Then, in the Bitcoin Core wallet I selected Settings-> Options-> Reset Options. You'll be prompted that the application will shut down.
Restart the application (remember, all your new files should already be in there) and all your old setting will be in place when it starts (including encrypted password).
Hope this helps someone else somewhere. I tried many other methods to include the CLI of the interface in bitcoin core. Nothing else worked. I thought I was screwed.
A lesson learned. (Hell, yes. I'm deleting this junk off my computer when I get the coins transferred out.)
(Yes, I had a backup copy of the wallet.dat file, but it wasn't taking it saying it was corrupt)
Good luck!
