1) Use RC3

2) Use config files

OK goatpig, I will figure out the config file syntax and location, I promise, and wean myself off of shortcut args, but it was working fine until the other day and I want to understand

3) You can't mix and match chains and DBs. Use a dedicated folder for each

I believe I understand and am adhering to this, the BTC chain is in its own folder on an entirely different drive and I nuked my BTC Armory DB in the process of getting the BCH setup working so I only have one.

4) What BCH node are you using? Armory is not compatible anymore with that stuff since they changed the address format and magic number.

ABC, and again, it was working until 2 days ago and I did not change anything

Using a shortcut to launch, right? Change the "Start In" field to "D:\Program Files (x86)\Armory\"
See if that does anything.

Yes, already was, save for the last \, adding that did not change the behavior.

cmd window syntax;

ArmoryQT.exe --satoshi-datadir="E:\BCashChain\blocks" --datadir="D:\armory" --dbdir="D:\armory\databases"

same behavior

ArmoryDB.exe --satoshi-datadir="E:\BCashChain\blocks" --datadir="D:\armory" --dbdir="D:\armory\databases"

'ArmoryDB.exe' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

Thanks for your patience with my relative illiteracy guys, I feel like I have the opportunity to really learn something here.

This looks like the bug with RC2, but you are using RC3, which is weird.

Alternatively, launch ArmoryDB yourself with all the params above.

It does not seem to ever spawn the DB, checking in task manager.

Is ArmoryDB running in the task manager already? If so, kill it and try again.

(Also, just to clarify, I assume you're not trying to run both instances of Armory on the same machine, or at least at the same time.)

well guys, BOTH my installs have broken down at the same time, in different ways, and I'm at a bit of a loss

Let's start with the one on my main box so as to not muddy the waters. This one was working fine till about 2 days ago. Win7/64, Armory0.96.3, was syncing to an ABC node to extract BCH, its wallets are empty of BTC and BCH, I was content to leave it running on ABC for now and wait for the BTG signer to come along.

It has taken to hanging on the very first splash, full green bar at the top "Loading:100%" blue windows swirly if you mouse over it. If you click on it "ArmoryQT.exe is not responding"

It does not seem to ever spawn the DB, checking in task manager.
