Hello, I just compiled ArmorPaint (g4) in Windows 10 without any problems.

Starting build\x64\Release\ArmorPaint.exe from that location doesn't work; I get a kinc.dmp file there, too.

But: Copying ArmorPaint.exe to armorpaint\build\out, then ArmorPaint starts without any problems.

That's what it says in the old readme (v8). However, the krom folder is now called out folder. => https://github.com/armory3d/armortools/tree/v8/armorpaint

I hope this works.

I can confirm copying the ArmorPaint.exe file out of build/x64/Release/ and into build/out lets it start up properly. Thanks so much!
