Cant seem to load my image file
#1
im trying to load a image file so that my program could outout he results of the last logon timeand date but i seem to be getting a error





The error that i seem to be getting is

Exception has occurred: exceptions.TypeError
pyewf_handle_open: argument: files must be a sequence object.

# 12. Read the contents of the SAM file into memory from evidence file
# This is not as dangerous as reading the SOFTWARE file because the SAM

# However, Windows timestamps start at 1/1/1601 at midnight
# The number below is the date midnight 1/1/1970 in Windows format
# By substracting this value from a Windows timestamp value we get
# the time from 1/1/1970 which we can convert into a datetime in Python
# because Python datetime uses UNIX time.
# Only need to do this once in the program
