It needs to know your blockchain data path.
Thanks. I had deleted everything and was doing a complete reinstall - fearing that something was corrupted. Why isn't Armory downloading the blockchain? Now that it isn't next - next - next. I'm kinda lost.
Armory doesn't download the block chain, Bitcoin Core does. Armory simply reads the blocks that are provided by Bitcoin Core.
What if there is no blockchain data path, shouldn't armory create it?
Armory knows where the block chain is located when you are using default settings on Bitcoin Core. If you've changed the location of your copy of the block chain for some reason, you will have to inform Armory of this change.
