Critical Error on Zcash4win startup

yes it is on the list, and is in various grant proposals to the Zcash Foundation that will be under consideration soon (after the 6th).

until then the only solution is to globally change the value of %AppData% on your system, which I have not confirmed works

Screenshot (5)Same problem…what to do?I’ve typed everything but still there is a the same error of "EOF reached (code 1).

There are similar comments recently in the forum, slow proving key, zcash desktop gui wallet categories
Edit- similiar experience myself

Part of me thinks everyone has the weekend off so maybe tomorrow!

you need to put the path to zcashd.exe in double quotes, like this:

Help cannot excess my wallet. I’m having the same problem that phakov the starter of this thread did. And I don’t understand how to fix it. I messaged radix42 and am waiting to hear back from him.

did you try to cd into the dir and then launch zcashd.exe like this:

.\zcashd.exe -daemon=1 -showmetrics=0

Give that a whirl

I installed new one with same dat file and it works…tnx

Hi! When you start zcash4win, i receive error:
image

After trying start strong sync i see this error:
PS C:\Program Files\zcash4win\app> .\zcashd.exe -daemon=1 -showmetrics=0
Error: This version has been deprecated as of block height 209812. You should upgrade to the latest version of Zcash. To
disable deprecation for this version, set -disabledeprecation=1.0.10-1.

  1. I understand that you need to update zcash4win?
  2. How can I update zcash4win not to lose the balance of my old wallet?

Thank you!

-Type %appdata% in the search
-In zcash4win folder, copy wallet.dat to a usb and/or different directory (ie safe when you reinstall, suggest multiple backups)
-reinstall
-After that and when its open, select wallet, import private keys, and select your backup you made
-that should do it, might take a while though,
make sure you backup you keys!

I’m having a similar problem! Except even when I try to resync at 99.83% it stops and gives me an error

I’ve even cleared out all the app data… is the server offline?

you can do it like this
