I'm only replying to this in the event someone else has this issue and wants to know the resolution. As you can see the forum had no assistance in the matter.
So what ended up happening is the following:
I installed a second version of Armory and created a new wallet. I then imported my 4th wallet by itself and it worked. I then rebuilt the DB for the other 3 wallets and they now seem operable for the time being. I simply switch the folder names back and forth and only open one instance of Armory at a time to access all 4 wallets.
So, I'm not sure if it's the creating of a new wallet on a clean install or something in the 96.2 code that "fixed" it. I don't know what caused the issue so can't avoid it happening again in the future, I don't know what fixed the issue so if it does happen again it could take me just as long to fix (2 weeks), and currently my situation remains unstable and inconvenient at best. With a lack of support and a platform that is seemingly on it's way out, I'll be spending the week moving all my stuff over to Trezor and Electrum. It was a good run Armory, sorry to see you go downhill so fast :/...

Note that even after removing the 'bad' wallet ArmoryDB service still quits within seconds of starting the transaction scan on subsequent reboots. I'm back to square one.
Hello, and thank you for taking the time to assist. When I 'upgrade' I always delete the old installation of armory and just install a fresh copy, so the databases folder is always updated. So I've made some progress and was really hoping to report that things were okay, however they're not. Here's what's happened since my first post:
1) Clean install of bitcoin core
2) Clean install of Armory 96.2
3) When I started Armory this time I chose to create a new wallet, just to see exactly where the issue begins. I don't know if it was doing this, or just 96.2 (which wasn't available at the initial time of my crisis) that fixed the issue, but Armory finally loaded and synced with bitcoin core.
4) I then imported 1 of 4 wallets. In doing so the wallet would 'scan' as indicated in the top section, however when it would complete it would go back to '0%' and not show any transactions. However, upon rebooting Armory viola!, my transactions were there finally!
5) I imported 2 of 4 wallets, and then 3 of 4 wallets, all with the same results as above.
6) I then went to import 4 of 4 wallets last night before I went to bed. I woke up this morning with the same nagging results that started this mess. Mind you, this is the wallet that I sent FROM to one of my other Armory wallets prior to the crash. This is the one I suspected had the issue. It's my oldest wallet, and it has a sh!t ton of transactions in it. I'm not sure what was wrong with this last transaction that would cause such a commotion.
This is to say that when I went to import 4/4 it went through the 'scanning transactions' process up until 99% and then the ArmoryDB service just quits. I reboot Armory and it goes to 'scanning transactions 0%' and ArmoryDB quits within seconds. I get no warning or notices of this. Armory sits and spins, I only know because I have task manager open.
Below are the pertinent logs. The bitcoin core logs seem normal so I won't include, but if you need them let me know.

1) Clean install of bitcoin core
2) Clean install of Armory 96.2
3) When I started Armory this time I chose to create a new wallet, just to see exactly where the issue begins. I don't know if it was doing this, or just 96.2 (which wasn't available at the initial time of my crisis) that fixed the issue, but Armory finally loaded and synced with bitcoin core.
4) I then imported 1 of 4 wallets. In doing so the wallet would 'scan' as indicated in the top section, however when it would complete it would go back to '0%' and not show any transactions. However, upon rebooting Armory viola!, my transactions were there finally!
5) I imported 2 of 4 wallets, and then 3 of 4 wallets, all with the same results as above.
6) I then went to import 4 of 4 wallets last night before I went to bed. I woke up this morning with the same nagging results that started this mess. Mind you, this is the wallet that I sent FROM to one of my other Armory wallets prior to the crash. This is the one I suspected had the issue. It's my oldest wallet, and it has a sh!t ton of transactions in it. I'm not sure what was wrong with this last transaction that would cause such a commotion.
This is to say that when I went to import 4/4 it went through the 'scanning transactions' process up until 99% and then the ArmoryDB service just quits. I reboot Armory and it goes to 'scanning transactions 0%' and ArmoryDB quits within seconds. I get no warning or notices of this. Armory sits and spins, I only know because I have task manager open.
Below are the pertinent logs. The bitcoin core logs seem normal so I won't include, but if you need them let me know.

This is where each log ends once the ArmoryDB service quits.
Please post all of your log files. Also, upgrading from 0.93.3 to any newer version requires Armory to built a new database. You will need to delete the databases folder in the Armory datadir to allow it to do that.
Hello, I'm not one to join forums or ask people for help, but here I am hat in hand. I'll get right to it.
I've been using Armory for about 2 years now. About 2 weeks ago I woke up, turned on my PC, fired up armory and within a couple minutes received an "armory needs to shut down" message underneath a message that says:
"BDM thread failed: The scanning process interrupted unexpectedly, Armory will now shutdown. If the error persists, you will have to rebuild and rescan your database. If rebuilding and rescaning did not fix the issue, contact support. Refer to your log file for more details on the error."
I've had DB issues before with core that I've been able to resolve, but this was new. Note that I was running an outdated version of core and Armory 93.3 up until now. Core is running fine, and there are no missing blocks that I can discern. Core's error logs are clean. However, here is the pertinent part of the armorycpplog:
-WARN - 1504323063: (..\BlockWriteBatcher.cpp:1133) Finished applying blocks up to 477500
-WARN - 1504323265: (..\BlockWriteBatcher.cpp:1133) Finished applying blocks up to 480000

If the error persists, you will have to rebuild and rescan your database. If rebuilding and rescaning did not fix the issue, contact support. Refer to your log file for more details on the error.
Clearly Armory does not like block 481824 for some reason. Below I will go over what I've done thus far. That block number has changed during some of these attempts to fix, however it's been that number the most, and it's currently that number again after a complete reset.
Here's what's transpired since:
1) I simply restarted Armory. Same issue, not a fluke.
2) I click the 'rebuild and rescan DB on next start up'. Waited for Armory to do it's thing. Same issue.
3) I deleted the 'database' folder from the Armory directory. Same issue.
3a) I used a backup of bitcoin core from July 19th to reload recent blocks as block 481824 was on Aug 24th. Same issue.
4) I -reindex'd bitcoin core. (3 days later) Same issue.
5) I -rescan'd bitcoin core. Same issue.
6) I deleted and reinstalled all my wallets multiple times. No help.
7) I downloaded and installed Armory 96.1. No change, except the error logs provide a LOT less information :/... Namely, it only provides the following:

8. I deleted bitcoin core and downloaded the newest version. (3 days later - today) Same issue. Same block number - 481824. This block number exists in core with no issue.

Nothing logically makes any sense. The error will occur in 1 of 2 places: 1) at about 1 or 2% of importing one of my wallets (with 93.3, with 96.1 it goes all the way to 99% before erroring out), or 2) if the wallet is already in the system, it will get to the end of the 'scanning transactions' phase of boot up and then throw the exception.
Could a wallet file be corrupted? I have four wallets on the system. I tried to send funds from one wallet to the other wallet and added a small fee of .0005. I didn't mind waiting a few days for it to go through. However, when this error first started happening I could see behind the error pop-ups the list of my transactions. The one at the top (the last one) was this transaction between the two wallets still with 0 confirmations, with no other transactions after it (and I KNOW there were transactions after it). However, even when I try to import one of the other wallets that wasn't involved with this transaction to a fresh install of Armory I still get the same error.
I haven't tried 96.1 with the new version of core yet. I'll download 96.2 and do that now, but I absolutely do not expect any different results. I'm honestly not even sure what anyone can advise me to do at this point if a clean install of both programs doesn't resolve the issue.
If it matters, these are watching-only wallets. I use full cold storage implementation. That said, when I go to my offline wallets to get the private keys, to put into Electrum as a last ditch effort to recover my funds, it doesn't have any. How screwed am I? Thanks for anyone's time who contributes, sorry for the long read.
I've been using Armory for about 2 years now. About 2 weeks ago I woke up, turned on my PC, fired up armory and within a couple minutes received an "armory needs to shut down" message underneath a message that says:
"BDM thread failed: The scanning process interrupted unexpectedly, Armory will now shutdown. If the error persists, you will have to rebuild and rescan your database. If rebuilding and rescaning did not fix the issue, contact support. Refer to your log file for more details on the error."
I've had DB issues before with core that I've been able to resolve, but this was new. Note that I was running an outdated version of core and Armory 93.3 up until now. Core is running fine, and there are no missing blocks that I can discern. Core's error logs are clean. However, here is the pertinent part of the armorycpplog:
-WARN - 1504323063: (..\BlockWriteBatcher.cpp:1133) Finished applying blocks up to 477500
-WARN - 1504323265: (..\BlockWriteBatcher.cpp:1133) Finished applying blocks up to 480000

Clearly Armory does not like block 481824 for some reason. Below I will go over what I've done thus far. That block number has changed during some of these attempts to fix, however it's been that number the most, and it's currently that number again after a complete reset.
Here's what's transpired since:
1) I simply restarted Armory. Same issue, not a fluke.
2) I click the 'rebuild and rescan DB on next start up'. Waited for Armory to do it's thing. Same issue.
3) I deleted the 'database' folder from the Armory directory. Same issue.
3a) I used a backup of bitcoin core from July 19th to reload recent blocks as block 481824 was on Aug 24th. Same issue.
4) I -reindex'd bitcoin core. (3 days later) Same issue.
5) I -rescan'd bitcoin core. Same issue.
6) I deleted and reinstalled all my wallets multiple times. No help.
7) I downloaded and installed Armory 96.1. No change, except the error logs provide a LOT less information :/... Namely, it only provides the following:

8. I deleted bitcoin core and downloaded the newest version. (3 days later - today) Same issue. Same block number - 481824. This block number exists in core with no issue.
