I downloaded armory and started it. It never went online.

Then i dowloaded Bitcoin core and had it resync the blockchain. Core is working fine.

Then i started armory again.

Armory does not go online at all even after hours. Also no indication in the user interface or popups that anything is ongoing or wrong.


got this in the log

You need to do path arithmetic with OS specific calls :  2017-07-30 23:51:09 (ERROR) -- BDM.pyc:200 - DB error: C:\Users\denni\AppData\Roaming/Bitcoin/blocks is not a valid path

also, i had thought armory was tested before launch.  i'll get me another wallet.
