Trying it out on a Mac:

Receiving BTC works.
Sending works
Making a paper backup of the wallet works, although the QR code is too small to be scannable (1.35a format with four lines of data).
Viewing the addresses in a walled does not work, see posted screen shot.

EDIT: It is normal the balance is zero. It is a testing wallet. But there should be addresses in the wallet.

Well, I've got Armory 0.95.1 running with Bitcoin Core 0.13.2 but it is just sitting there - as it was with BC 0.14.
There's a full green box in the "Initializing Bitcoin Engine" section with that little icon slowly spinning around. This is what is was doing with 0.14.
The task manager tells me that ArmoryQT.exe is indeed running and I also see a "bitcoind" process running, but it appears that nothing is really
happening.
Is it building its own database? Where can I look to see if it's doing something?
Sorry to keep giving this stuff to you (should I move to another thread?) - but just trying to figure out if I'm spinning my wheels here or if something
is going on. Do you know if this combo has run in W8.1 succesfully before.

Thanks so much for your support.

You need to run Bitcoin Core and Armory separately. In Armory's settings, uncheck the box "Let Armory run Bitcoin Core in the background". Then stop Armory, start Bitcoin Core, and restart Armory.

Thank you.
By downgrading to Bitcoin Core 0.13.2 - it's not going to download that huge database again, right?

No, it will not have to download the blockchain again. It will use what is already downloaded.

I'm afraid it's still not coming up. When I run it now it complains it can't write to the logfile even though file is there and read and writable.
I tried moving it out and a few other things but exe still won't run.
Thanx for your efforts - I 'preciate it. But, I'm kinda on a time crunch to get some bitcoins so I'm thinking of trying another wallet if 0.96
ain't available soon.

I'll see if I can replicate the issue.

For now, you can use 0.95.1 and downgrade to Bitcoin Core 0.13.2.

Well, please remember that I was at least able to bring up Armory 95.1. It had problems connecting/communicating with the 14.0 core - but at least I could see it.
This beta version won't even come up.
As I said, I uninstalled that 95.1 version after the first error from the beta build - so I must've also removed the lang folder?? Why isn't it there for the beta?
Should I uninstall beta, go back to 95.1 and copy the lang folder? Or can someone just tell me how to get it?

Thanks for whatever you can do.

Here is a copy of what I have in my lang folder: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0Bxw3ip9QfNOUTU1laEEyU2l6a1E. Extract the zip file into wherever you installed Armory. Make sure that if you double click the lang folder, you see a bunch of files with a .qm extension on them.

The reason the lang folder is not there is due to improper packaging of the binaries and the installer. I have it because I do development of Armory and run straight from source.

No - no folder named "lang". Only folder under where I installed Armory is one called "tcl"

That's probably the issue then as it is expecting the translation files to be there. There's probably a packaging problem for Windows.

OK, tried the new build. Running Windows 8.1, had Armory 95.1 installed, but uninstalled it after 1st error. Could not run the new .exe. Here's contents of the ArmoryQt.exe.log log file.
Let me know if you need anything else. I have core .14 so Armory wasn't working before I tried this anyway.

(ERROR) ArmoryUtils.pyc:3742 - Unsupported language specified. Defaulting to English (en)
(ERROR) Traceback (most recent call last):
File "ArmoryQt.py", line 55, in
NameError: name '__file__' is not defined

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "ArmoryQt.py", line 55, in
NameError: name '__file__' is not defined

If you go to the folder where you installed Armory, do you see a folder named "lang"?

Any estimated time to a final 0.96 release yet?
Ty for all your work btw

Can't tell. If a lot of bugs are found during this testing phase, I can't quite release in such state.

The segwit address type is the p2sh nested segwit addresses.

Ahhh, okay. Disregard my previous post.

The SegWit address type is locked to testnet only.

Are you referring to BIP 142? If so, GMax says it's abandoned.

In any event, thanks for getting this out to everyone! Looking forward to everybody's feedback.
