I am having a huge problem with getting the wallet to work. And I have installed over 40 desktop wallets and bootstraped/snapshot/recovered .dat file. It seems no matter what version i install it won't sync or it syncs and gets stuck half way. Any help would be nice...
Here's what got the sprouts wallet working for me on a win7 machine.
About a month ago I found a zip file that contained these files:
libgcc_s_dw2-1.dll
libstdc++-6.dll
libwinpthread-1.dll
sprouts.exe (size: 18,484 kb)
(edit: I had found the above files here:
http://sproutcoin.github.io/ http://sproutcoin.github.io/downloads/sprouts1-2-2.zip )
I extracted these files to a directory I created for sprouts.
(The wallet's data files end up at: C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Sprouts)
But the above exe file didn't work, it crashed at some point, so I found the latest
sprouts wallet file here:
https://sproutscommunity.wordpress.com/2017/03/15/sprouts-wallet-release/The name of that zipped file is: sprouts-win-qt.zip
The only contents of that file was: sprouts.exe (size: 23,469 kb)
I placed that exe in the directory I created above for sprouts, so now it contains these files:
libgcc_s_dw2-1.dll
libstdc++-6.dll
libwinpthread-1.dll
sprouts.exe (size: 23,469 kb)
This wallet exe now runs correctly, and synchs up rather fast.
For some reason the above "sprouts.exe 23,469 kb" caused errors if those dll files were not included in the same directory.
I don't recall the exact errors, but it said something about missing dlls.

You may need to add and modify a config file:
Create a file: "sprouts.conf"
and place it in with the sprout's wallet data: C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Sprouts
Then add this to the file:

save it, and restart the wallet.
... now it should connect, and start downloading the block data.
I don't recall if I used a bootstrap file, maybe it didn't need it?
