that first-run batch file is what the gui runs when you first launch it, it makes the config file and setups up the directories it needs
This is what Im getting:
PS C:\Program Files\zcash4win\app> cd âc:\Program Files\zcash4win\appâ
.\first-run.bat
.\zcashd.exe
C:\Program Files\zcash4win\app>rem this script MUST be run before launching zcashd for the first time
C:\Program Files\zcash4win\app>mkdir C:\Users\Jeffrey Chudyk\AppData\Roaming\Zcash
A subdirectory or file C:\Users\Jeffrey already exists.

Chudyk\AppData\Roaming\Zcash\zcash.conf was unexpected at this time.
Before starting zcashd, you need to create a configuration file:
C:\Users\Jeffrey Chudyk\AppData\Roaming\Zcash\zcash.conf
It can be completely empty! That indicates you are happy with the default
configuration of zcashd. But requiring a configuration file to start ensures
that zcashd wonât accidentally compromise your privacy if there was a default
option you needed to change.
You can look at the example configuration file for suggestions of default
options that you may want to change. It should be in one of these locations,
depending on how you installed Zcash:
- Source code: contrib/DEBIAN/examples/zcash.conf
- .deb package: /usr/share/doc/zcash/examples/zcash.conf
PS C:\Program Files\zcash4win\app>
what happens if you try to launch the GUI now?
same thing as before error
same error
at this point I hate to suggest the âwindows solutionâ, but maybe un-install, reboot reinstall, and try running the GUI
ok I tried that once beforeâŚ
I am now just getting this:
PS C:\Program Files\zcash4win\app> cd âc:\Program Files\zcash4win\appâ
.\zcashd.exe -daemon=0 -showmetrics=1

how can I get the config file
ok I manually put a config file from the example given and it seems to be running now what?

Its gonna take quite a while to sync the blockchain, the current block height is 60356, but the GUI should launch nowâŚbut you wonât be able to send/receive any transactions until its syncâd to 100%
if you internet connection is slow it could take 2 hours or more to finish catching up
ok workingâŚI think. Thanks so much.
awesome, after it catches up to 100% synced you should just be able to launch the GUI from now on
the gui opened and seems to be downloading the blockchainâŚ47.02mb so far.
is that okâŚI closed the powershell and started the gui
yeah should be fine, thatâs how it should work normally
Once I get my nan s funds released and usable I will send you something.
thank you! donation address is pre-loaded in the addressbook under extras
they were lockedâŚnot possible to spend them directly from your Nano S for technical reasons.
Youâll have to export your private keys and use a software based Zcash wallet (capable of computing ZKP).
Thats what I am toldâŚneed to figure that out.
hm I havenât messed with a nano S, the Import Private key function in the GUI should be able to pull them in when you figure out how to export from the nano
I hope soâŚthanksâŚ
