Somebody please help before I lose the will to live.

I'm about 50 hours in my 3rd attempt to get Armory to work.

I've read through all the posts and tried every tip I could find, but I still can't get the damn thing to work.

I've spent another month downloading the full node all over again, it is 100% updated.

I have downloaded the latest version of Armory and configured to the best of my ability.

I have done the mapping (having the files on an external drive).

Finally, at 2 am this morning I was ready to start up Armory.

I did, it connected and went 'Online', then it started to prepare Databases.

I went to bed, got up 7 hours later and it hadn't moved at all, still at 'Preparing databases'.

Tried to restart it, now it won't even go 'Online', just says 'Preparing Databases' but doesn't seem to move at all.

Here are the log-files if somebody could please take a look:

Any help would be greatly appreciated - I have bitcoin stuck in an Amory wallet I haven't been able to access for 3 months now.

Thank you very much for your reply.

I've done point 1 and 2, but when trying point 3 it says 'access is denied'.

I'm not really familiar with working in the prompt, is there another way of starting it?

In fact, when I browse to the Armory folder there isn't any 'ArmoryDB.exe' file listed there....?

I found out how to do this from the prompt, but is says the file doesn't exist (which makes sense as it is not in the folder in the first place)

You said:

3) Open the command line, browse to your Armory installation folder and run ArmoryDB.exe

In my Armory installation folder (C:\Users\hykki_000\AppData\Roaming\Armory\) there is no ArmoryDB.exe file.

Am I supposed to look elsewhere.

I tried starting it up again affer the changes in 1+2, it still doesn't connect and after approx. 5 hours  still says 'Preparing Databases' with NO movement at all on the bars.

Ah, ok. Well, in that folder there's a 'ArmoryDB' file but not a 'ArmoryDB.exe' file? Are those 2 the same?

Yes, your system is probably set not to display known file extensions.


We can deal with that next.

I finally got it to work and have now succesfully transfered my bitcoin to a more userfriendly wallet.

Now I'll just have to do battle with trying to access my coins from the various forks, I'm sure that will be easy peasy!   

Thank you very much for your help, much appreciated!
