I have some python scripts that will extract the keys from your wallet if you have the password: https://github.com/HardCorePawn/multibit_recovery

If you have a ".key" file, then use decrypt_multibit_classic_keys.py
If you have a ".wallet" file, then use decrypt_multibit_classic_walletkeys.py


Thank you HCP.

It was a real pain, but thanks to your scripts I was able to recover a fraction of a BTC that was sent to my Mutlibit 0.5.18 installation. And I couldn't access the wallet file anymore due to the error message

Could not load the wallet file "C:\..." The error message was "null"


I had to use the full command line to Python (so c:\Pytohn27\python dectrypt_..." instead of just "python") to make it work. I got the decripted keys, wrote them off the screen (copy-pasting didn't seem to work in MS-DOS) and sweeped them into Electrum.

So thank you again for your help!
