when Core is running, Armory says to close - when closed, Armory can't find it

[drrussellshane]

When I have Bitcoin Core running, Armory tells me to close it so it can do its thing, but when I close it, it says that Bitcoin Core doesn't appear to be installed.

What's going on here?

You have to point Armory at your Bitcoin installation.

It detects an instance of Core over P2P, but doesn't necessarely know where the exe is. Usually it can guess it, but in some case it fails to. In Files -> Settings, point Armory to the folder holding bitcoind.exe and restart it.

For others who may be having this issue, I got it solved by adding

listen=1

to my bitcoin.conf file.
