No, I'm just using a laptop at the moment and don't have access to a PC
with GPU. At some stage (and if the current run isn't successful), I'll
look into what I need to set something like this up. There's enough
potentially at stake to make it worth spending some money on this.

I'm pretty sure there's just the one file in there. I definitely wouldn't
have encrypted it first and then zipped it. It was just zipped (using 7Zip)
with a password and AES256 encryption selected. There's also just the one
file - wallet.dat - listed when you open the archive.
Alternatively, we have a bug resulting in that spurious message.

Do you think it would help at this stage? Perhaps if the current run
doesn't work I can look into that and see whether it gives more info than
I've found so far.

Yes, just wallet.dat, once.
Thanks as always
