Yes You are 100% Right that it was a pathing issue, i never had such problems getting software to work in my whole life.. I asked people for Help That Studied IT but no one could really help me, i Had a guy sitting at my desk for 2hours+ that couldnt fix my issue, I tried to get a troubleshooting guide up but it since it was basically trial and error it is really hard for me to remember what i Actually did.
To Make it quick for everyone out there that is running into the Same problem as I Did i try to get it together as good as possible:

1. Make a Backup of your Wallet both in Armory and Bitcoin core
2. Safe it on USB
3. Delete Armory and Bitcoin core
4. reinstall Armory and Bitcoin core on the same drive
5. Manually delete all Files left on your Computer except your Wallet backups
6. Move Folders Armory(databases) and Bitcoin (Blocks) into the desired Drive "D": Users/XYZ/AppData/Roaming

To everyone out there that is new to BTC and reads my post i can only Advise you to Delete both Bitcoin core & Armory..
I know that some people might have another  but my Opinion is that the Software is really bad programmed and you'll have many headaches with it, just check the Web, the Internet is basically overcrowded by people that having problems with those two programs or BTC in general!
I Know Bitcoins sound fancy and you Do have dreams and plans and you might think that you'll be able to accomplish things with Cryptocurrencies
BUT i can assure you that 99.99% of People lost and still loose Money with cryptocurrencies, there is only a small percentage of people that made directly or indirectly revenue with bitcoins.
I, personally, lost money in the 0000 area and believe me it is really really hard hitting for me, i will regret the decisions i made for the rest of my Life..
At the End you'll just pay fee over fee and see how the value of your money is going downhill & if that wont happen you'll get scammed by traders or some virus, your wallet dont work anymore for 
inexplicable reasons.
BTC as Currency in Daily Life is basically useless, the things you can buy with BTC or the Companys you can pay with it, is very very limited.
BTC as an investment is stupid and unstable, yes there are people that made BIG with trading BTC but what do you think is the percentage of that people compared to everyone that invested in BTC, myb 0.1%.
I can only Advise you to put your money into properties, youll have much much more in the Long Run and your Kids will be Thankfull that you wasnt that stupid like me, someday you'll be able to bequest a house or an apartment for your family.

So for every Noob out there trying to get into Btc, stay away, safe your money and always ask yourself why people want you to get in to btc (selfinterest).
For everyone made BIG, good luck still, no hate.

Sounds like you had a "pathing" issue...

Armory defaults to looking in Bitcoin Core "default" location, which on windows is in the %AppData% (C:\Users\YOURUSERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Bitcoin)... if you've used a "custom" location, this needs to be specified in the Armory settings, or by using an armory.conf and specifying the "satoshi-datadir" value.

You can read more here: https://btcarmory.com/docs/pathing

It can be a bit of a struggle getting Armory and Bitcoin Core working nicely on Windows 10, but it is possible... one common "gotcha" is that hidden "zombie" ArmoryDB processes can keep running in the background that can prevent things from working properly, as Armory has TWO components, the GUI component (Armory-QT) and the Database component (ArmoryDB)... The DB is what parses the actual Bitcoin Core block data and extracts the necessary info, so if it has zombie processes running, quite often it is impossible to get things working.

The only way to remove the zombie processes is to kill them manually in Task Manager or restart the PC.

Also, if you have ArmoryDB building the armory databases from one set of Bitcoin Core blocks... and it "fails" due to incomplete blocks etc, and then you point it at a different set of block data, quite often ArmoryDB will "choke" as the data won't be a 100% match and it can't figure out what to do.

In this instance the "Help -> Rebuild and rescan databases" option within the Armory GUI will fix it (but only if you have the pathing all setup correctly first so it can actually find the correct block data! Wink)

First of all thank you guys, all 3 of you, really appreciate your help.

You were all right, Armory is not Fully synced like u said, its missing blocks.
But its wierd that Bitcoin core is Fully Synced
So i figured that it has something to do with Armory not finding the data it needs.. By Instinct i just looked on to My E: Drive and found the Bitcoin folder in appdata/roaming with 252gb, the exact same folder did exist in C:/appdata/roaming with only 72 GB, so it seemed logical to me that Armory is using the Blocks from the C harddrive where its not fully synced instead of the Blocks from my E: Drive. So since i can not copy 252 gb on a 200 Drive i thought the only solution would be to uninstall Armory completely and reinstall it onto my E:/ Drive where my Bitcoin core is installed with synced Blocks. I then proceeded to use the uninstall.exe of Armory in my E: folder and then something wierd happend again, it told me it will delete Armory from C, i could not choose E.. So i uninstalled armory from C but i Still had my Armory folders in E: with the .exes and everything and could still start armory from that exact folder in which i used the uninstall.exe, when reusing the uninstall.exe all that happened was the Uninstall window where you have to choose the path u want to delete but it was just blank and i could not type anything inside of there. I  then deleted all folders and files expect my digital backup i could find from armory by hand (putting it in the trash)
I then reinstalled Armory and chose to Install it on E:/Programmsx86/armory, it succuesfully installed and started armory..
Now my Armory is Open (Offline in the bottom right corner again) but also the Armory Db.exe popped up automatically and is Now parsing Block Files:

logging in C:\Users\ss\Appdata\Roaming\Armory\dbLog.txt
......
......
......
blkfile dir: E:\Users\xx\AppData\Roaming\Bitcoin\blocks
lmdb dir: C:\Users\ss\AppData\Roaming\Armory\Databases
.....
.....
.....
And then it follows with parsed block file #1 to currently #611 and it is still going...
I then checked my Bitcoin\Blocks folder and figured that it has 3.726 Files, so it seems logically to me that armory finally figured that the blocks it needs are on my E and is now parsing the block files (3.726) with the databases on C and after that it should be syncronized and my btc will show up right?
Of Course i Will Edit if it works out or not.
I hope it is not that hard to read.
Thanks again guys

I'm not an expert about this problem but I have an opinion about it. If the bitcoin is already sent as you can see in the transaction but still no btc found in your wallet then both of their answers are right that your bitcoin core or your armory is not fully synced yet then you need to synced both before the balance will show in armory. If your bitcoin core or armory is fully synced then maybe the transaction is not complete yet and waiting to be confirmed.

Probably because of out of sync wallet. Is the address having the bitcoins both in armory and bitcoin core? Your armory is out of sync by about 180,000 blocks so it make take a couple of time before getting fully sync but once you downloaded the block that included the incoming transaction to your address the balance will show up

Hello Guys i desperatly need help,
a few days ago i Bought Btc which i send to my offline Armory Wallet, Bitcoin core was not synced yet.
While syncing Bitcoin Core i ran into memory Problems because the 200gb didnt fit on my C so i Deinstalled and put it on another Drive,
when it finally synced my Armory showed me Offline in the bottom right corner (just offline, not Node(offline))
I then moved my Bitcoin and my Armory (databases) folder into appdata/roaming.. etc on the New Drive
Then i Started Armory which asked me to recover and Old Wallet or Creat a new one, i recovered my Digital wallet.
Now I Am Finally Connected to Armory with 415609 Blocks and a Synced Bitcoin core and that is where i hang right now..
Btc are still not on my Wallet (showing 0.00) Adresses ( which recieved the btc judging blockchain.info) are in my adress book so i really dont know what to do from there...
My last guess would be That it is something about the recovered Wallet, i made the back up 3 or 4 Days ago i think..
I also read all over the Internet and this forums, but troubleshooting like deleting the armory folder and manually starting bitcoin core didnt worked for me.

Please help me!
