This is already addressed by #258. C:\Users\RetroAdmin_x86\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync is the path to where all of your backups are stored. You have to provide the path to a specific backup within that directory. This is described in the docs:

-p, --db-path <path/to/source>
        Specify an optional custom path for the iMessage database location
        For macOS, specify a path to a `chat.db` file
        For iOS, specify a path to the root of a device backup directory
        If the iOS backup is encrypted, --cleartext-password can be passed or you will be prompted for the password
        If omitted, the default directory is ~/Library/Messages/chat.db
