pretty sure "Bitcoin Install Dir" should be C:\Program Files\Bitcoin

Pretty sure it has to be a custom directory since I'm using the portable version of Bitcoin Core. I thought it has to be the directory where Armory can be found. Now I know it has to point to the Bitcoin Core directory, but it is obsolet because you wrote that I should deactivate the "Let armory run ..." option. Now I use the armoryqt.conf file as suggested by you:

Code:

satoshi-datadir="H:\Blockchain Core"
datadir="C:\Users\Andreas\AppData\Roaming\Armory"

Alan's autobitcoind is the devil.

If Armory isn't controlling Bitcoin Core, ignore "bitcoin install directory". Pretend you've never heard that term.

You certainly do not need to use custom directories with the portable versions of either Bitcoin Core or Armory. Where did you get this idea?

Unless absolutely necessary, leave everything in it's default location.

You don't need to point to default locations in a config file (as you've done above). The amount of data Armory requires should fit in the default location, there really isn't any reason to use a custom path.

If you use a custom path for the block chain, make sure that path matches in both Bitcoin Core and Armory.

Keep paths simple. "Blockchain Core" is the name of the folder where you keep the block chain? Just call it "Bitcoin" for the love of all things holy. Why are you using quotes, they aren't necessary (if you don't use spaces in your folder name, which you shouldn't).

Here is an example of my exact config files.

bitcoin.conf

Code:

disablewallet=1
server=1
listen=1
assumevalid=0
addnode=127.0.0.1
datadir=D:\Bitcoin

As you can see, I've relocated the block chain data to my D drive. Now, I have to tell Armory where that data is located.

armoryqt.conf

Code:

satoshi-datadir=D:\Bitcoin

The D drive on my computer has one folder in it called "Bitcoin".

This setup works every time, without fail, on a clean Windows 10. I start Bitcoin Core (from a folder on my desktop, never installed). I wait for it to finish syncing, then I start Armory (from a folder on my desktop, never installed). If I want to use an existing wallet, I copy that to the Armory folder before the initial start up.

If I were you, I would:

1. Delete the contents of the Armory folder in C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming except for the wallet files.

1. Copy my config files into the appropriate folders.

   bitcoin.conf goes into C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Bitcoin

   armoryqt.conf goes into C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Armory

2. Modify the config files with your specific locations. Keep it as simple as you can (like mine).

Hopefully this shines some light on pathing. Either do as suggested or modify your current setup with the above in mind. If this doesn't work, I would delete your block chain and start from scratch.
