I get this error message during the install:

"This installation package could not be opened.  Verify that the package exists and that you can access it, or contact the application vendor to verify that this is a valid Windows Installer package"

I do have windows 64 if that matters.

- Install https://github.com/downloads/jackjack-jj/pywallet/PWI_0.0.3.exe -> this installs Python
 - Download and install http://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.7.5/python-2.7.5.amd64.msi
 - Keep the install path in mind
 - Then hit Windows+R
 - Write cmd then OK
 - You'll see this
 - Type
Code:
c:\Python\python.exe "INSTALLDIR\pywallet.py"
- Post here what it returns

I have a wallet problem created by too many dust outputs.  I'm trying to upload my wallet to blockchain.info and I'm having a problem doing so.
So what is the problem you're having? It helps to know what error instead of randomly guessing what you're experiencing.

Why so complicated?

All you need to do is drag and drop your wallet.dat here: https://blockchain.info/de/wallet/import-wallet
This user is correct. My initial assumption about dumping keys before import is incorrect. My mistake.

When I drag my wallet it says my wallet can only be 10mb but my wallet is 11.7mb, so I'm asking for help with the method listed under "import/export" at blockchain.info:

Quote
Import Wallet

You may import keys in several different formats.

    AES encrypted backup from blockchain.info. (Must be encrypted with the same password)
    Plaintext JSON backup from blockchain.info
    Output from pywallet.py -dumpwallet
    Output from Multibit .key
    Output from Vanitygen

Please be aware there is currently a limit of 400 private keys per wallet. For large wallets your browser may become unresponsive for a few minutes.

    Output from pywallet.py -dumpwallet
This implies that bitcoin-qt wallet format is not supported by blockchain.info. You need to use pywallet to dump the keys, then paste the output to blockchain.info.

what's the easiest way?  running that code doesn't look all that easy to someone who doesn't know how to run coding programs.

Is there an all in one .exe program that installs everything I need to run pywallet?

I have a wallet problem created by too many dust outputs.  I'm trying to upload my wallet to blockchain.info and I'm having a problem doing so. I'm not even sure that it will solve my problem, but I have no choice because I can't send by bitcoins anywhere since I get the " Error: Transaction creation failed!" every time I try to send them.

I'm using Bitcoin-qt on Windows 7.

Here are the blockchain.info instructions:

Import Wallet

You may import keys in several different formats.

    AES encrypted backup from blockchain.info. (Must be encrypted with the same password)
    Plaintext JSON backup from blockchain.info
    Output from pywallet.py -dumpwallet
    Output from Multibit .key
    Output from Vanitygen

Please be aware there is currently a limit of 400 private keys per wallet. For large wallets your browser may become unresponsive for a few minutes.

any help would be appreciated, thanks.
