"Where on D: do you want Armory to store its database?" Thought this is automatic when you download the program?
It will store on C: usually but I think you mentioned you'd like them both on D: ?
I've set it to "D:\ArmoryDB" in the config file.

"Datadir" = D:Bitcoin
Bitcoin Core is on the D: drive
Armory is on the C: or D: drive. I've tried both
Great. I've made these .conf files for you to download:

You may need to manually create a new folder named "ArmoryDB" on D: (i.e at the same level as the Bitcoin folder).

  • Open just Armory and go to File> Settings
  • Make sure your settings look like this:
  • Click Save and close Armory entirely - make sure ArmoryDB is not running in the background
  • Type the following into your taskbar and hit return:
Code:
%appdata%\Armory\
  • This should open a window with your Armory wallet files and log files, but if you don't see that you can get there manually (some folders may be hidden by default):
Code:
C:\Users\yourusernamegoeshere\AppData\Roaming\Armory
  • Copy the downloaded "armoryqt.conf" to this directory
  • Navigate to D:\Bitcoin and rename the existing "bitcoin.conf" to "bitcoin.backup" (or anything else) and copy the downloaded "bitcoin.conf" here.
  • Go to D:\. Make a new folder here called "ArmoryDB", just in case Armory doesn't create it
  • If Bitcoin Core has been running, shut it down - you could restart the machine at this step, for good measure, if you want to make sure everything is shut down.
  • Start Bitcoin Core again and wait for it load the blockchain i.e. let it get to the overview screen
  • Keep Bitcoin Core running and start Armory.
  • Cross your fingers

At this point Armory should start building from the correct and current blockchain. Will take a little while but there should be progress info in the Armory window.
If this doesn't do it, we really need to see your logs as has been suggested by bob123.
