I'm running it manually and once that completes, I close it and run Armory. That has worked fine in the past.
Yeah, I have had that work...and not work
If it was me I would try
>unchecking "Let Armory run Bitcoin Core/bitcoind in the background" under file/settings
>dealing with your
pathing in your shortcut properties (as those fields under file/settings will now be grayed out)
>close armory, check for armoryDB.exe in task manager and kill it if it is still running
>delete armory\databases folder
>start Bitcoin Core, let it fully sync and leave it running (this is the part that I mean when I say "running manually")
>with Core still running start Armory with your properly pathed shortcut
>wait patiently while the DB gets built, it takes a good while
but I'm pretty new here, you may want to wait for one of the more experienced folks to chime in.
