Topic: FATAL ERROR! electrum download (Read 1525 times)
Hi, just new to all this and the recommendation was to used Electrum as a wallet.
After downloading, tried opening and message 'FATAL ERROR' appeared.
Error loading Python DLL 'C:\users\ASPIRE1\AppData\local\Temp\_MEl89402\python35.dll.
LoadLibrary: Invalid access to memory location.
This is probably an easy fix but I've tried reinstalling and other means but unable to get it running.
Is this a common occurrence or have I downloaded from a dodgy site (electrum.org)?
Any help would be really appreciated.
I had this problem but i try new electrum 3.0.3 and this error disappeared After downloading, tried opening and message 'FATAL ERROR' appeared.

I see hackers are now using this opportunity to get newbies like me to download 2.9.3, and it steals their bitcoin out of their wallet. Nice. Warning to others: Definitely time to buy a hardware wallet.
I've tried it on WIN7 & WIN8.1 and it doesn't work.
Can you try installing "Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015" and running Electrum 3.0 again?
It may be a solution for this issue, but I can't test it because I can't replicate the error.

Thanks for the update, did the installation happen correctly and complete without errors?
If it did, then we'll just have to wait for the next version of electrum.

No. This is happening to almost everyone trying to load electrum on Windows 7 or Windows 8.1.
If you really need electrum3 then use a live OS or dual boot.
Else, redownload/locate your old version of electrum 2.9.3 and use that until the bug is fixed (as I'm doing).
