I'm facing same trouble here I guess.
Armory opens just fine, everything is updated (Armory RC1 and Bitcoin core), but it´s taking a really long time to load the balance (and doesn't load after all). Actually I went to sleep and this morning I saw the balance, but after close the wallet and open it again, it's not loading.

For the past hour has been stucked on "Preparing database".

Here is a picture and the log right after

I tried to insert the code mentioned above but no luck so far.  --satoshi-datadir=D:/Bitcoin

Okay, looking at your logs, this sticks out:

Code:
2018-01-10 09:12:03 (ERROR) -- ArmoryQt.py:1862 - Failed to setup SDM
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "ArmoryQt.py", line 1857, in startBitcoindIfNecessary
  File "SDM.pyc", line 188, in setupSDM
BitcoindError: bitcoind not found

If I'm reading this right:
- Armory is actually scanning the blockchain you have downloaded, but won't go online because it can't find Core.
- You have Armory itself installed in D:\Felipe\Bitcoin\Armory ?
- And you have the blockchain downloaded to D:\Felipe\Bitcoin ?
- Having those nested like that makes me a bit nervous. Can't say it won't work as is... but you could you maybe move/reinstall Armory to D:\Felipe\Armory instead? Your PC, so up to you.

Where is Bitcoin Core installed to? Program Files on C:\ ? Armory can't find it, as far as I can tell.

I think I've only ever installed over the top of an existing install i.e. not uninstalling first. Shouldn't make a difference, though.
Can always backup the Armory folder if you are worried.

Btw, the version I installed is this one from goatpig post: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/0964-rc2-2660500
I'm running it on windows 10. Is this why this problem is happening maybe?

Use RC1 for now, please. RC2 has an issue on Windows that you'd need to work around.

Will I face any problem on receive my bitcoins If I uninstall it and get back for the previous version?
Won't affect receiving the coins - don't delete your wallet or anything like that.

Thank you for your reply! So just to be sure, unistall does not imply in delete my wallet, right?

Hi there!

I'm having a hard time with Armory.
Just downloaded the latest version, installed over the previous one, but not opening anymore. Any thoughts on why this is happening?

It stays on a infinite loop loading the wallet, but it never opens it.

I was getting a offline node message, and that's is why I decided to update for the latest version. Thought there would be no problem installing over it, since last time I made just that and there was not problem at all.

After I installed the update is that I realized that maybe I should not have done it, because I don't know if that can interferes on the path to receive my bitcoins.

Can anyone help me to solve this issue? Btw, I know this wallet is not for newbies like me, once I solve this problem I will search for another that it's easy to deal with...

Any help is much appreciated!
