Thank you to all for your posts regarding this Bitcoin Core matter. I followed the given advice and downloaded the entire blockchain without setting up a "bitcoin.conf" file. Great to know Armory does not require this be done so it can operate correctly.
In closing, I am sharing the link below for those in the community wanting to know more about this subject. Two minutes into the video the "bitcoin.conf" subject matter begins:

Again, thanks to all for your help.
Topic: Is a "bitcoin.conf" file needed for Armory to work correctly? (Read 163 times)
Does the latest release of Armory need the Bitcoin Core Client to be configured with a "bitcoin.conf" file containing this line of code "txindex=1" inside the file?
Just to further illustrate the points made above... this is a copy/paste of my current "bitcoin.conf":Code:
walletrbf=1
dbcache=750
#maxconnections=9
server=1
dbcache=750
#maxconnections=9
server=1
Armory 0.96.5 + Bitcoin Core v0.18.1 (GUI) on Windows 10 and everything working as it should... I even have my bitcoin "blocks" folder in a non-standard location (E:\Bitcoin). I simply specified that location in the Armory "Settings":

no, none do
Or is it okay for the Bitcoin Core Client to just download the blocks without no need for re-indexing the headers which is what the "txindex=1" inside the "bitcoin.conf" file is designed to do?
I don't think that's what txindex=1 does, but it doesn't affect Armory if you use that cli argument with your Bitcoin client (Bitcoin uses txindex=1 to allow you to search the bitcoin blockchain for txids, blockchain.info and others basically got the idea for their service from the introduction of the txindex feature)
You do not need txindex, Armory maintains its own database.
Make sure you're running Armory 0.96.5.
