I installed an earlier release available - 0.96.1, and I was able to open it.
I restored my wallet from the root key.
BUT - I dont see any option to make it show/export the private key.

only thing I can do is "back up" the wallet, which is useless.

How can I see the private key to my wallet?
anyone?

"Backup wallet" is exactly the option you need... it's just that the private key export is a little bit hidden. Try this old post of mine: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4746784.msg43255691#msg43255691

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.
