If you are running core manually, then you need to uncheck the option "Let Armory run Bitcoin-Core/bitcoind in the background". This will gray out the Bitcoin install dir and Bitcoin home dir. Then, in the startup command for Armory, you need to add the following:
Code:
--satoshi-datadir=d:\bitcoin-blockchain

ok idiotic question time.

so Im trying to run armory, ultimately to import a wallet from 2012.

my blockchain is on drive d "d:\bitcoin-blockchain". core is in its default location "C:\Program Files\Bitcoin\bitcoin-qt.exe"

I ran armory went to settings, I pointed the "bitcoin install dir" option to "C:\Program Files\Bitcoin\bitcoin-qt.exe" and "bitcoin home dir" to "d:\bitcoin-blockchain"

I have core running. then I fire up armory. and it sits there saying "armory is offline"

what am I doing wrong? does it have to do with the blockchain locations? I do NOT want to dl another blockchain just for armory, core and armory can share correct? an both run at the same time?
