Ok ive gone to the github and downloaded the files and created its own directory for it.

have i done the right thing here?

Close... but you don't run it from the "Python" commandline... you just run it from the normal windows command line Wink

And make sure you are in the right folder... so looking at your screen shot, you'll want to be in: F:\Programming Studies\multibit_recovery-master

Your command prompt should look like:

F:\Programming Studies\multibit_recover-master>

NOTE: Your wallet has a space in the name, which means you'll need to use "quotes" around the name (or just change the filename and remove the space, either way will work)... so your command should be:

Code:

python decrypt_multibit_classic_walletkeys.py "new beginning.wallet"

if you get:

Quote

'python' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

you'll need to use the full path to the Python executable:

Code:

C:\Python27\python.exe decrypt_multibit_classic_walletkeys.py "new beginning.wallet"
