You're right the default choice was C:\Program Files\. I didn't realize the that changing the location could have an affect but choose to collect all bitcoin related files/programs in the same folders hence the reason for locating to C:\Users\E\E-Bit C\Program\Bitcoin Core.
Entered C:\Users\E\E-Bit C\Program\Bitcoin Core to the "Bitcoin Install Dir" box in the Armory settings. But the same error code seems to still occur when I look into the log file.
I found an option in the menu for Bitcoin Core where I managed to create a config file, type the code you mentioned in the file and finally saved the file in the Bitcoin Core datadir (C:\Users\E\AppData\Roaming\Bitcoin).
Restarted Bitcoin Core and Armory according to your instructions but I still find Armory in offline mode.
FYI the information I get from the dashboard in Armory is following:
Node Status - Completed and green marked
Build Databases(However the letters are grey compared to other phases where they are black) - Completed and green marked
Scanning Transaction History - Not completed and does nīt seem to start which I guess is due to being offline
