I need the GUI to generate the address of the wallet path-related file or registry, not the wallet file.

[Ivan0610]

Try
1.I uninstalled the GUI
2.Deleted part of the registry I found

Question
I cannot find the files in the disk other than the wallet file created by the GUI, and cannot modify or reset the wallet.

Gridcoin version
gridcoin-5.4.5-win64-setup

Machine specs

• OS:Windows 10
• CPU:Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2673 v4 @ 2.30GHz
• RAM:96GB(32G*3) 2133MHz DIMM
• Disk size:2TB
• Disk Type (HD/SSD):H730 array card

information
When creating a wallet via Gridcoin (64-bit)，the set wallet path contains some characters that may not be recognized correctly, resulting in garbled characters and making the wallet unable to be opened normally.Since uninstalling the program GUI does not clear the wallet's path information (note: this does not refer to the wallet's files), it cannot be re-created or reset through the GUI, so I need the GUI to generate the address of the wallet path-related files.

This looks like a locality issue with filename paths? Did you choose other than a default location to store the data files when you installed the wallet?

Yes, I created the wallet with a custom path that contains UTF-8. I think this is caused by garbled characters.And how to reset index files, I don't know where they are.

I will lookup the registry entries as soon as I can get to my workstation and provide you a procedure to delete them.

I accidentally clicked the wrong button，I am curious about the solutions to such problems encountered in Linux and Windows

I think we need to provide a way to erase the registry entries during the install. The installer specifically does NOT disturb the data directory or the registry entries pointing to it done by a prior install unless they are messed up. This is to enable easy in place upgrades, and protects people from inadvertently deleting their data directory and destroying their coins.

Agreed, this is particularly useful when needed. I think it can be independently developed as a program or script, published separately on the official website or Git platform, and provided for download by those in need. This can avoid the occurrence of most misoperations.

I want to add a language selection option to the initialization interface of the wallet (currently, the initialization interface cannot change the language through GUI), as people using this software come from all over the world. At the same time, add a warning in red or bold to the custom wallet path, stating "Do not use directories containing languages or characters other than English"

I think the options can be included in the NSIS install script. I have marked this as a feature request.

Looking forward to the process of manually deleting registry entries，Looking forward to the emergence of new install script！
