0.96.0.4 Stuck Preparing Databases 0%

[Feracon]

Bitcoin Core is connected and fully synced. Just an hour ago I'd made a new wallet with Armory and completed a small volume test transaction to it.

After the transaction had one confirmation I closed armory. Reopening it thereafter has resulted in permanent offline mode and being stuck "preparing databases". I've left it here for a half hour, it's using no processor and I'm seeing no change in ram usage. The only log being updated when I close it is armorylog and the only lines it's writing to it are:

2017-07-20 15:59:13 (INFO) -- ArmoryQt.py:5424 - BDM is safe for clean shutdown
2017-07-20 15:59:13 (INFO) -- SDM.pyc:464 - Called stopBitcoind

Any ideas?

[Feracon]

I was wrong, those two lines are written just at closing. Here's the entirety of the log between launch to close.

It's saying there's a DB error but I've pointed it to the correct dir for the block chain and it was just working earlier as I mentioned.

Any input is appreciated, thank you!

[Feracon]

It's saying there's a DB error but I've pointed it to the correct dir for the block chain and it was just working earlier as I mentioned.

https://image.ibb.co/dm3CPk/armorypath.jpg

Is it not taking the settings into account in this build perhaps?

UPDATE: It's not taking the path settings into account at all, regardless of where I point it, it's looking in the default path on C.
UPDATE2: Reinstalled 0.96.0, then installed 0.96.0.4 again, I'm now progressing through scanning transaction history. Fun times.

[Feracon]

Confirmed, the reinstalls fixed all issues I was having. Thanks.

At this rate, you're better using the config files to path with:
