Also I tried the trick of importing the aes backup file into the old version of Multibit. That succeeded and I see a notice 1 private key imported. But how can I get that private key on my screen to copy it and rush to my wallet to take the cash since 4 years?
Did you look in the "Tools" menu in MultiBit? There is an "export private keys" option... when you select that, DO NOT password protect the output file (that encrypts it)... once the export is done, simply open the output file in a text editor and you should see your private keys
