I've been unable to sent BTC with Armory 93.3 for a while. Eventually I wiped everything clean. REMOVED everything from users/app/roaming and downloaded v96.
When I try to install the wallet I get "armory failed to spawn the db" and "refer to dblog.txt"
There isn't a dblog.txt
The new app/roaming/armory directory contains a databases folder (which is empty) and three files:
armorycpplog.txt armorylog.txt ArmorySettings.txt
I've included some lines from the logfile below.
---------------------------------------------------------- 017-05-25 22:39 (ERROR) -- BDM.pyc:275 - setSatoshiDir: directory does not exist: C:\Users\TimT\AppData\Roaming\Bitcoin\ 2017-05-25 22:39 (ERROR) -- ArmoryQt.py:1840 - Failed to setup SDM Traceback (most recent call last): File "ArmoryQt.py", line 1835, in startBitcoindIfNecessary File "SDM.pyc", line 188, in setupSDM BitcoindError: bitcoind not found 2017-05-25 22:39 (INFO) -- ArmoryQt.py:1900 - Setting netmode: 0 2017-05-25 22:39 (INFO) -- ArmoryQt.py:1850 - setSatoshiPaths 2017-05-25 22:39 (ERROR) -- BDM.pyc:275 - setSatoshiDir: directory does not exist: C:\Users\TimT\AppData\Roaming\Bitcoin\ 2017-05-25 22:39 (ERROR) -- ArmoryQt.py:1808 - Failed to start Armory database: Invalid blockdata path Traceback (most recent call last): File "ArmoryQt.py", line 1793, in startArmoryDBIfNecessary File "SDM.pyc", line 368, in spawnDB BadPath: Invalid blockdata path 2017-05-25 22:39 (INFO) -- ArmoryQt.py:1900 - Setting netmode: 0 ----------------------------------------------------------

It needs to know your blockchain data path.

Thanks. I had deleted everything and was doing a complete reinstall - fearing that something was corrupted. Why isn't Armory downloading the blockchain? Now that it isn't next - next - next. I'm kinda lost.

I'm kinda lost. Armory doesn't download the block chain, Bitcoin Core does. Armory simply reads the blocks that are provided by Bitcoin Core. What if there is no blockchain data path, shouldn't armory create it?
Armory knows where the block chain is located when you are using default settings on Bitcoin Core. If you've changed the location of your copy of the block chain for some reason, you will have to inform Armory of this change.

If you aren't the sole controller of your private keys, you don't have any bitcoins.

Thx. I realized that and have been downloading Bitcoin Core. Hopefully, in a week, or months, ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) when it finishes downloading my Armory will work again. This wiping everything clean and starting fresh is a pain in the butt.

This wiping everything clean and starting fresh is a pain in the butt. Doing it right now. Can't believe I have to wait this long! DAYS And to think, all this fuss about Segwit2X and increasing block sizes. No wonder I had to dedicated a separate machine just to keep Core.....

Can you please explain me how to link the aromory to the bitcoin database. Ive installed bitcoincore in 'D' drive, synced the entire blockchain, Armory is also installed in 'D' drive. but not sure how to link them tried different folder names for 'Bitcoin INstall Directory' and 'Bitcoin Home Directory' in armory, nothing seems to work. Which folder am i supposed to give there or is there another way? Thanks.

i cant believe the btc in my armory wallet is stolen. I had armory in mac then after the code upgrade i had to install on windows. i had 1btc in mac armory wallet, now after the windows installation of armory it says zero balance and the latest transaction (which i didnt make) with ID: 1688b19b6052e9ceffb042f099ef106b1d27b88fd6dd181b10ae97726657a4c0 where is security? can you please explain this? my mac old wallet still shows 1btc in wallet because it is outdated, then how is it possible that 'I' made that transaction. Armory is supposed to be safe.

So you're saying someone robbed you but credited you change so as to exactly pay himself 1 BTC? Go through your financial history, figure out which service you paid 1 BTC to and take it with them...

that's the thing i could not have sent even if i had tried. I was unable to send bitcoins from my MAC wallet long before that transaction was made(Jun7). I even made a post about it. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1932422

Coins were moved from your wallet. It's obvious since you received change back. This is for you to figure out, from my perspective nothing went wrong. It is still possible you got hacked, but the scenario is pretty convoluted. It would suggest someone got a copy of your wallet, figured out your password, and went through the process of sending you change back, which is unlikely at best.
If you can't figure it out, try harder, or start looking at people in your entourage. It is entirely easier to for someone with physical access to your computer to drain your wallet than some random hacker online gaining access to it remotely.
