With Armory and Bitcoin installed on my HDD (I have an SSD with my Windows installation), Armory was unable to locate bitcoin-qt.exe, even though the "Bitcoin Installation Dir:" field in Settings was marked correctly. The Bitcoin program ran correctly.
Steps Taken:
Restarting the machine had no effect. Running as administrator had no effect. Uninstalling and re-installing Bitcoin to different locations on the HDD had no effect. Uninstalling and re-installing Armory to the HDD had no effect.
It might be the case that you need to point out the path to bitcoind, which actually resides in the src/ folder on the same level as bitcoin-qt. Try appending "src/" to whatever path you configured.
