May you sum up the procedure?

(1) First move all BTC coins off of your Armory wallets and Bitcoin Core wallet to a safe place. I'm using a hardware wallet that will hold both BTC, BCH and other altcoins.

(2) Uninstall Bitcoin Core.

(3) Configure your computer to show hidden files (google methods for your particular computer). Delete all hidden Bitcoin Core hidden files and blockchain. Google or use youtube to find files if you don't know. Your looking for a folder labeled Bitcoin. Delete it.

(4) Download bitcoin-abc-0.16.1 (Bitcoin-qt) for windows https://download.bitcoinabc.org/0.16.1/win/

(5) Install and synchronize new ABC (bitcoin-qt). Could take several days. Not easy to find the wallet install in the downloaded folders. If you use a zip file you will have to extract the files. "Hint" Open the files with the most data in them.

(6) Open Armory and in "User" tab and set to "expert" in both online and offline computers.

(7) Also in Armory (online computer) go to File/Settings and uncheck the box at the top of the page that says. "Let Armory run Bitcoin Core/bitcoind in the background".

( Cool

Shut down Armory and bitcoin-abc. Restart computer for the hell of it.

(9) Open up the new ABC wallet you previously synchronized. Wait until it is synchronized. Leave it on.

(10) Then open up Armory and let it synchronize.

(11) Go to Help tab in Armory and select "Rebuild and Rescan Data Bases"

(12) You should be able to see the BCH balance in a few hours. To move the BCH you just follow the directions at "the first post of this thread".

tried your method but it fails inside an Ubuntu VM. Armory shows "Node Offline" but with the correct number of initial blocks as it must be seeing the previously running bitcoind. i've unchecked the Setttings box that allows Armory to control bitcoind. the background Armory Terminal window shows "BDM is ready!" but no further blocks get appended to this window altho bitcoind is keeping up and appears to be running properly. any help would be appreciated.
