What an inconvenience ..
please try to start bitshares as administrator and write to c:\btswallet.json directly

I'm sorry my friend, how do I start bitshares as an administrator?  Also, do you mean re-start the console as an administrator?  Will the updated blockchain wallets be saved or will I need to run the scan again?

No rescan needed
on windows it should be possible to run apps by rightclicking 'run as ...'

Perfect!!  It's there!

Will now attempt to create a wallet within the bitshares2 light client then import my keys!

can you try without path and then search the drive for the file?

i typed.....    wallet_export_keys bitshares_balance.json

left it for a while, then searched the drive for the file and nothing again.

[Ben Mason]

If you have a space in your username, you NEED to put it in quotes!

no file appears in the designated folder.  not sure what i'm doing wrong as i added the quotes...

a) wait a little longer
b) search for the filename on the whole drive
c) try another path/filename (you may have been required admin rights to the previous path)

tried a) and b) no joy

how do i correctly specify a different path?   is the correct command....

wallet_export_keys c:\users\ben mason\my documents\full_balances_0.9.3c.json

I've been through the console rescan and i have attempted TASK 3 of jenkas's fantastic instructions.

when i type the command wallet_export_keys full_balances_0.9.3c.json and hit enter, the console returns OK.

however there is no file saved to location c:\program files\bitshares\bin\  or anywhere else i can find.

I assume that without the new export file, i won't be able to save the results of the rescan for import into bitshares2-light.....

I've run into a couple of issues....

First when i attempted to access the v0.9.3c console client in order to check my balances, it appeared to open, but then wouldn't allow me to type anything in it.  So i bypassed that hoping my balances would be accurate.

So you've made a new backup with v0.9.3c right?
Console output or screenshot of that "wouldn't allow me to type anything in it" please? Maybe just need some more patient.

Then once I had downloaded v2.0.151223 of the Bitshares2-light client, within settings , wallet management console, i found only 4 options;

Active Wallet:
Key Import Tool
Restore Backup
New Wallet

Clicking on Key Import Tool does nothing so i am currently unable to import my keys.

So close   :D

Maybe have to create new wallet first.. but not required to create a new account.
