Doesn't connect to wallet after upgrading to 1.2.0

Does not connect to the wallet after upgrading to 1.2.0 under Windows 7, tried to delete everything, nothing helps, just twists "Connect to wallet"

I've the same problem under Windows 7.

Endless error "Connecting to wallet"

Try to delete 1.2.0 and install v. 1.1.7 and all is ok, then try to update to 1.2.0 and the problem say Hello once again.

Let's make Chia blockchain better together ;)

I have the same situation and I also know 3 people who have the same. When installing 1.1.7 everything works

[Jones1982]

Idem.

are you all on windows 7 ? windows 7 is no longer supported!

[Jones1982]

Yes, Windows7 Sp1 64bit

[loppefaaret]

we are running python 3.9 now under windows, and windows 7 are missing a .dll file that does not official allow it to run python 3.9 - so unless you can find a way around that - on your own responsibility - that is it for windows 7 and Chia, you are stuck on 1.1.7 for as long as it works

[Jones1982]

talk about the famous file "api-ms-win-core-path-l1-1-0.dll"?

[loppefaaret]

just be careful if you try and download system files from a 3rd party!
