Hi guys. I achieved entering the hard drive where the original wallet was created in 2017. Im trying to open the Electrum exe but when I put the password it tolds me: "Cannot create window for wallet: not enough values to unpack (expected 3, got 1)
You seem to have launched an old version of Electrum (with this bug) and accidentally corrupted the wallet that it opened.
Luckily, I think it's just your watching-only wallet since the issue should occur if it's the old wallet.

Now, before trying anything, backup your wallet file in case something went wrong.
You can find the wallet in "wallets" folder inside Electrum's data directory (wallet/datadir location)
If that old drive is just mounted to another PC, search from that drive instead.

Then, open a copy of the backup in the new version (not the old Electrum from your old hard drive).

Note: Your actual wallet isn't electrum.exe but a file inside Electrum's data directory.
It's default name is "default_wallet" or "wallet_1", "wallet_2"... unless you've specified a specific name.
