Armory issue - never online - stuck on Preparin Databases

[geko4321]

Hi there,

I can't make Armory to pass the "Preparing Databases"
Bitcoin core running OK. Blockchain sync done. Bitcoreqt = running OK

OS: Windows 7 Pro x64
satoshi datadir: "C:\Bitcoin\btc_data" - where my Bitcoin Data folder is.
I already reset all setting by running Armory Ofline mode and choosing "Help-> Factory Reset"
Redo all the custom settings for my setup.

2017-08-19 16:18:19 (ERROR) -- BDM.pyc:199 - DB error: C:\Users\Grif\AppData\Roaming/Bitcoin/blocks is not a valid path

The warning I undestand is correct as matches my settings but why that error ?
Why the PATH to bitcoin blocks is that one instead of the one I set ?
And is using slash instead of backslah.
Is this a bug ?

My issue is related to this and yes I am a noob to armory.  Do I have to download BTC node separately.  The tutorials say there is a secure downloader built in but is not present in my version (latest)
