Technical Support / Re: Import wallet error
« on: August 23, 2014, 08:09:40 pm »When I try and import my exported backup wallet (on a usb drive), I get the error. "Failed to restore wallet backup. Your original wallet has been restored. Error: Bad Cast (7) Invalid cast from type 'string_type' to Object.
This is on a windows 8, running 0.4.5. It should be known that I tried to import this wallet into the same computer (after having fully un-installed Bitsharex), after reinstalling Bitsharex. How to proceed? Thanks
I even tried to import this wallet backup on a separate computer (mac), and I got the same error.
I have found the problem and backup creation on Windows will be fixed in 0.4.8.
To recover your existing backup, open the backup file in a text editor like Notepad and scroll all the way to the end. There is an extra comma at the end of the file; the last two lines will look like this:
Code: [Select]
},
]
Delete that comma and save the file, and let us know if you can successfully import after doing this.
