Armory Database Crashes on Launch Everytime--0.96.3

[rapidbtctransfer]

Using Version 0.96.3 with Bitcore 15.0.0 and can no longer go online or sync databases. Every time i open the appi, when it gets to the db load it crashes.

I've tired to follow the guide about how to set up custom pathing as my bitcoin blockchain is stored in different than standard location (B:/BTC/Bitcoin), however i'm completely out of my depth here and likely didn't set the right paths in the right areas.

I've tried resetting to default settings in offline mode, Database EXE still crashes on launch every single time.

I've also tried installing different versions of Armory including 0.96, 0.96.2 and the lastest release 0.96.399 with no luck, same issue.

Nothing helps, it will no longer access the database and I desperately need to get my bitcoin out of this wallet. I did make a paper backup however i can't even get to the point to restore the wallet with the DB crashing on launch.

Using windows 7 64 bit.

Any help would be greatly appreciated as I'm completely lost here.

1) Install Bitcoin Core 0.15.0.1 and let it sync with the network (will take a week with your computer).

2) Update to Armory 0.96.4 RC1
