I am curently using 0.96.
Ok, I will update it. So do I just delete the Armory version I have now and install the latest version? After that i import or restore my wallet?

Hey guys!

I setup all so far.. still learning though.
When I tried to send part of my btc it said Coin selection failed with error: can't connect socket. I followed the tutorials, but don't know whats wrong and why it won't send to my binance account.
 
Any ideas?

What version of armory do you currently use?

I found a thread with the same issue from here https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/armory-wont-send-bitcoin-now-armory-wont-start-manually-running-core-first-2329749
According to the thread upgrading it to the latest version must solve your issue

Edit:
The issue is solved now.
I deleted all the files located in AppData\Roaming\Armory. Then opened Armory and created a new wallet.
Now, the "Create paper backup" button in step 4 is working fine.

Post armorylog.txt found in ~/AppData/Roaming/Armory. This should have some relevant error verbose.
Once I click on "Create Paper backup" button, the following error is added to the armorylog.txt file.

I just tried to create a new wallet and experienced a same issue. "Create Paper Backup" button didn't work when creating the wallet and I don't know why is that.

Anyways, you are able to create the backup after creating the wallet too.
In Step 4, click on "Finish" button, so your wallet is created. After that, click on "Wallet Properties" and then select "Backup this

wallet". In the new window, click on "Make Paper Backup".
Armory will show you the root key along with the QR code.

It should be noted that the Armory root key is not compatible with other wallets and you will always rely on Armory for recovering your wallet.

Thankyou very much for your help!
I did it somehow, not the way you did, but it worked, it froze for a while but it created a paper backup. Interesting...

Anyways, thankyou for your help!

Could you try to reinstall the wallet and then make sure the antivirus is turn off before you install it again.
I uninstalled Armory and installed it again (on windows 7). Nothing changed. "Create paper backup" button in step 4 didn't  work.
I also tried that on another computer with windows 10. It worked fine.

I'm not sure, but it seems that the problem was related to using an outdated version of windows.

I just tested it again. I am also using the version 0.96.5 and the "single sheet (recommended)" option is checked. "Create paper backup" option doesn't work.
The button works fine if I create the wallet and backup the wallet after that. But It doesn't work in step 4 when I am creating the wallet. I can't figure out what's the problem at my end. It's weird.

Mine for step 4 it's working fine. Maybe there might issue after you installed Armory.

Could you try to reinstall the wallet and then make sure the antivirus is turn off before you install it again.

If it doesn't work maybe the issue is related to the OS. I'm using windows 10 server lite version I switch to this from a gaming OS which is limited and I could run some wallet like Electrum.
So I think there might be an issue on the OS or maybe it's system corrupted?

It works at my end and I'm using Armory version 0.96.5.
Done the same steps: Created a new wallet->Proceeded to Step4->Clicked 'Create Paper Backup'

The only way I can reproduce this is to select another option like "Digital Backup", then re-select "Printable Paper Backup".
After that, neither options for 'printable paper backup' is ticked.
When that happens, "Create Paper Backup" wont work until I ticked one of the options.

Refer to these images:
One option is selected:

Hello all!

I am having trouble at creating a new wallet. At step 4 I have to create a paper Backup, but when I click the button nothing happens. It gives no QR code or numbers that I could print out or write down.
Can anybody help?

Thankyou very much in advance.
