Thank you for your detailed notes.
I changed the name from "Blockchain Core" to "Blockchain" instead of "Bitcoin".
I deleted the "armoryqt.conf".
I left "bitcoin.conf" being on its defaults.
Nothing changed. I tried variants with checking the "let armory ..." option, with unchecking it and both, using the "home dir" entry and not using it (leaving it empty).
Nothing worked.
I'm giving it up, now. I definitly am done with Armory.
I didn't say delete armoyqt.conf...
Armory
needs to know where the block chain is.
I said that you don't need to point to default locations in the config. You do, however, need to point to the custom locations (such as your block chain) in the conifig....
You "left bitcoin.conf on it's defaults"? What is that? By default there is no bitcoin.conf afaik. If you have your block chain in a custom location,
it not default.
It seems to me that you have pathing issues, but I can't explain it any clearer than my previous attempt.
