I think this is the same problem that I am having, goatpig.
Ugh i forgot to add guardian to the bundle for Windows. I'll add it later tonight. Turn off auto bitcoind for now and start BitcoinQt manually.
or backup your databases folder then delete its content
That didn't help.
I'm starting Armory with "--datadir=". "Bitcoin Install Dir" and "Bitcoin Home Dir" are also special places.

Where should this guardian come from?
That's because the DB format between 0.93 and 0.94 is way different.
You have to give Armory another DB folder. Use the --dbdir command line argument, or backup your databases folder then delete its content to let the DB build in its default path.
