dot exe?
um bitcoin-wallet is not a .exe
seems you are trying to open it like an executable file.. it wont work

Yes, it is an executable... and yes it can work... bitcoin-wallet.exe is the "newish" executable that the salvagewallet functionality was moved to as it was no longer deemed relevant to be in the main executables.

Quote from: .exe "help"

bitcoin-wallet is an offline tool for creating and interacting with Bitcoin Core wallet files.
By default bitcoin-wallet will act on wallets in the default mainnet wallet directory in the datadir.
To change the target wallet, use the -datadir, -wallet and -testnet/-regtest arguments.

Currently, it supports 3 commands... create, info and salvage:

Commands:

create
Create new wallet file

salvage
