Armory runtime error

[jimbursch]

I'm getting a runtime error every time I start up Armory. It happens when it gets to about 95% of scanning transactions.

I believe the issue is addressed by Armory here:

https://bitcoinarmory.com/announcements/

My situation is such that I can wait for the update. I'm mainly posting this here for the next person who has the same problem, so they can more easily find that Armory announcement.

jim,

When did you last reinstall?  If yo uare using the version posted before a few days ago, you are likely to see this crashing problem.  I recently posted the 64-bit version which has resolved a lot of these problems.

Please uninstall the previous version, and then install the new 64-bit version I posted a couple days ago.  That has solved this problem for a lot of users.

I'm working on updating the blockchain engine to solve this problem, but it's still a couple weeks away (it always is a couple weeks away....).  Luckily, the 64-bit version has been able to hold on to quite a few users.

Please let me know if that works (or doesn't).

Thanks!! I'll let you know how it goes.

You might consider adding a link to this forum on bitcoinarmory.com -- perhaps under the  About tab. If we Armory users can help each other it might take some support pressure off of you.

Also I suggest a link in the main navigation of bitcoinarmory.com to the Announcements page.

Installing as you suggested did the trick - I'm not getting the runtime error.  I uninstalled Armory and reinstalled. I was pleasantly surprised to  see that I didn't have to install my wallets from backup after re-installation.

It's still slow to start, but that's a known issue as I am on a 4 gig ram laptop.

Looking forward to the update in the next few weeks!

Hi,

I am unable to view available funds as the scanning will not complete for Transaction History.

It stalls out @ 42% / 13 minutes.

Do I need to redownload blockchain?

Thanks.

For me, the solution was to install the 64 bit version found here:

I'm going to go off this thread instead of starting a new one. I installed 88.1 right after the crash. I was able to install it, open it, create a couple addresses, move my coins from other places to here, and I went about my business until last week.

Since last week I've been having the same problem as the original problem for this thread. I've uninstalled 88.1, installed 87.2, got the runtime error there twice, did a repair thru control panel, got another error, uninstalled that, and tried to do the 64 bit version. I thought I might have been overlooking something but I'm running on Win7 32 bit so the 64 didn't do anything for me. I've since reinstalled 88.1, did a repair there, and still get a runtime error. Oh, I wasn't for sure if it was the same file but I deleted the armory.exe txt document once to no avail.

Is there anything else I could do to try to help explain with what's going on my end? TiA!

Just out of curiosity, is this issue occurring because of the ever increasing size of the blockchain?  If so, I'll just wait until the RAM minimizing update comes out in a few weeks and not use Armory until then.

I installed the Armory on my 64 bit pc and works just fine.

does anyone have a solution for those of us running a 32 bit OS?

I installed the Armory on my 64 bit pc and works just fine.

Armory always takes 3G+ Ram everytime it's running. That's no good.
