I tried exporting the keys to Electrum but it would not take it.

The "keys" you have are not "Bitcoin" keys... they are Armory specific "root keys" used for being able to restore your Armory wallet. I am not aware of any other wallet that you can use Armory Root Keys with.

Do I have to wait for the full download of Bitcoin Core before I can export? I cannot see my coins in my wallet yet on Armory.

No, you do not need to wait for Bitcoin Core to download. In fact, you don't even need Bitcoin Core installed or running to be able to export your keys from Armory.

I have written several posts on how to export your keys from Armory, this post is probably the "tidiest" (quoted in full below): https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4746784.msg43255691#msg43255691

One thing to note, is that if you attempt to import the keys into Electrum... the Electrum import format is slightly different, as you need to specify the "type" of key it is... I would suggest that for a default Armory setup, the type would be "p2pkh"... so when you import into Electrum you have to enter it as: "p2pkh:YOUR_PRIVATE_KEY_GOES_HERE"

for instance: p2pkh:5Kb8kLf9zgWQnogidDA76MzPL6TsZZY36hWXMssSzNydYXYB9KF

If you can manage to get it running... you can export your keys and then import them into another wallet like Electrum... If you just want to get it open, and 0.96.4 still won't run for you, you can try the older version and do the key export without worrying about syncing with Core etc.

NOTE: exporting keys should not be taken lightly. There is a chance your keys may get compromised if your computer is not secured and you could suffer coin loss as a result.

To export your keys, you can use the following menu options in Armory:
- Wallet Properties
- Backup This Wallet

- Select "Export Keys List" (top left box)
- Click "Export Keys List" (bottom box)

- Select the following options: "Address String", "Private Key (Plain Base58)","Include Unused (Address Pool)"... and make sure "Omit spaces in key data" is checked

You'll end up with a list of all the addresses and private keys displayed in the text box. The private keys will be labelled as "Plain Base58"

You can then "import" or "sweep" those private keys using the wallet of your choice (like Electrum or Bitcoin Core). I would highly recommend "sweeping" (as opposed to "importing") as the private keys could potentially be compromised/exposed during the export/import process.
