Having a bit of trouble installing the Windows Wallet. Like I download it, extract the ZIP file, and open up the Opal Application but then it doesn't open. Did I do something wrong?
Hi Cryptonitex,
Win8 or Win 8.1 ?
0. Check if your Firewall/Security suite isn't blocking the wallet start.
1. close your wallet
start your wallet by using the compatibility mode for win7.
if it still crash: close your wallet and
2. Install package(s) you dont have: These versions must be installed manually:
C++ 2012 (x86 and x64)
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=30679C++ 2010 (x86)
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=5555C++ 2010 (x64)
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=14632C++ 2008 (x64)
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=15336C++ 2008 (x86)
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=29(you can check these on programs & features)
start your wallet,
if it still crash, close your wallet,
You have an opalcoin.conf file located in this path :
C:\Users\YourUsername\AppData\Roaming\Opacoin
(right click on opalcoin.conf and choose edit instead of open)
Did your opalcoin.conf looks like that :
addnode=46.165.209.144
addnode=54.64.155.117
addnode=79.32.104.81
addnode=192.241.222.102
addnode=173.199.124.185
addnode=65.30.37.95
if no or if there is no opalcoin.conf file: create it and save as: oplacoin.conf and not opalcoin.conf.txt
start your wallet.
if it still crash:
Save your wallet.dat file and delete all the other files located in this path
C:\Users\YourUsername\AppData\Roaming\Opacoin
(before starting make sure you have the saved wallet.dat in this path)
start your wallet,
