Thanks!

Should I be creating the directory here
C:\Gradle\bitcoinj\tools\build\install\wallet-tool>mkdir \bitcoinj
or
C:\>mkdir \bitcoinj

If I do
C:\Gradle\bitcoinj\tools\build\install\wallet-tool>mkdir \bitcoinj
C:\Gradle\bitcoinj\tools\build\install\wallet-tool>wallet-tool.bat --net=TEST --wallet=\bitcoinj\bitcoinj-test.wallet create
or
C:\Gradle\bitcoinj\tools\build\install\wallet-tool>wallet-tool --net=TEST --wallet=\bitcoinj\bitcoinj-test.wallet create

The error message is "Access is denied".

If I do
C:\Gradle\bitcoinj\tools\build\install\wallet-tool>mkdir \bitcoinj
C:\Gradle\bitcoinj\tools\build\install\wallet-tool>wallet-tool.bat --net=TEST --wallet=echo %homedrive%\bitcoinj\bitcoinj-test.wallet create

or

C:\Gradle\bitcoinj\tools\build\install\wallet-tool>mkdir \bitcoinj
C:\Gradle\bitcoinj\tools\build\install\wallet-tool>wallet-tool --net=TEST --wallet=echo %homedrive%\bitcoinj\bitcoinj-test.wallet create

The error message is "unmatched argument at index 3: create".

Do you have any idea what I'm doing wrong?  Sorry I know this is probably really obvious. I've attached screenshots.

Thanks

Anna Bergin <annabe...@gmail.com>: Oct 17 08:49AM -0700 Can someone please share the Windows version of the “Building and Using the Wallet Tool” set up steps here https://github.com/bitcoinj/bitcoinj?   I tried doing this   1. *C:\Gradle\bitcoinj>gradle bitcoinj-tools:installDist*   2. *C:\Gradle\bitcoinj\tools\build\install\wallet-tool\bin>wallet-tool.bat*   They both seemed to work because it showed a list of valid values but I could get the next three to work   *3. **mkdir \**bitcoinj\tools\build\install\wallet-tool\bin\wallet-tool.bat --net=TEST --wallet=$HOME\bitcoinj\bitcoinj-test.wallet create*   I've attached what I can see in after this point 3   I haven't been able to do these next two steps and I'm not sure what exactly to write in the command line and from which folder.   *4. **.\tools\build\install\wallet-tool\bin\wallet-tool --net=TEST --wallet=$HOME\bitcoinj\bitcoinj-test.wallet sync*   *5. **.\tools\build\install\wallet-tool\bin\wallet-tool --net=TEST --wallet=$HOME\bitcoinj\bitcoinj-test.wallet dump*   Sorry I understand this is probably really easy but I’m a beginner   Thanks :)

Andreas Schildbach <and...@schildbach.de>: Oct 17 09:50PM +0200 re step 3:   mkdir ~/bitcoinj   is on its own command line.   ./tools/build/install/wallet-tool/bin/wallet-tool --net=TEST --wallet=$HOME/bitcoinj/bitcoinj-test.wallet create   is then the next command.   I'll make this clearer in the README.     On 17/10/2021 17.49, Anna Bergin wrote:

Sorry for my questions above ^ I think i might have solved them. 

I tried to create a wallet and it seemed to work using this command
C:\Gradle\bitcoinj\tools\build\install\wallet-tool\bin>wallet-tool --net=TEST --wallet=C:\Gradle\bitcoinj\bitcoinj-test.wallet create

But got this message
Wallet creation requested but C:\Gradle\bitcoinj\bitcoinj-test.wallet already exists, use --force

If it try to sync it using 
C:\Gradle\bitcoinj\tools\build\install\wallet-tool\bin>wallet-tool --net=TEST --wallet=C:\Gradle\bitcoinj\bitcoinj-test.wallet sync

I get this error message
Chain file is missing so resetting the wallet.
Skipped to checkpoint 1449504 at 2018-12-25T17:01:32Z

I did this then 
C:\Gradle\bitcoinj\tools\build\install\wallet-tool\bin>wallet-tool --net=TEST --wallet=C:\Gradle\bitcoinj\bitcoinj-test.wallet dump

And i can see the information on the screenshot. Is this what I'm meant to see? Sorry i know this is obvious, but i have never done something like this before. 

Thanks!
