ISSUE IS RESOLVED.
Here's what happened:
1. I ran the new catcoin-qt.exe (5 files installed). The first time I ran it I got the message above.
2. Ran it again and my balance was zero.
3. Copied my backed up wallet into the roaming directory and ran it again. I received the same error. It had backed up the restored wallet.dat in the roaming folder and had created a new wallet.dat.
4. Restored a backed up copy of catcoin-qt.exe including roaming folder and still received the same message. At this point I believed they were gone.
5. Decided to start again.
6. Wiped everything and downloaded a new copy of catcoin-qt.exe
7. Started the program to create the roaming folder again.
8. Stopped the program and copied in the backed up wallet.dat
9. Started the program and received the error again
10. In the roaming folder I noticed that it had backed up the wallet.dat to a new name but hadn't created a new wallet.dat, so I copied in the backed up wallet.dat again.
11. When I started it again, it came up showing my balance of CAT as unconfirmed.
They have now been confirmed.
Apologies if it caused a stir. I wasn't expecting anything to go wrong!
Thanks for this info, TheTribesman. I ran this on 4 machines (Win 7/32 and Win 7/64) before release and did see the wallet backup, but had no errors. Sorry you did!
Your previous wallet - was it a stand-alone wallet or the version that 'installed'? If it was a stand-alone wallet, then you're done. If it was a package that installed, you might want to make a copy of your wallet.dat, then go to
start/control panel/programs and features and uninstall the old catcoin wallet.
When I uninstalled my old wallet, it did NOT delete the AppData/Roaming/Catcoin folder, but always back-up wallet.dat just in case.
Sorry for the heart-attack moment but very glad your cats are still safe and sound.
