    Thanks for the help guys, I got there in the end but it was far from straight forward. I followed the advanced uninstall but that left two files in the client folder (DropboxExt.22.0.dll and DropboxExt64.22.0.dll) that refused to delete. I kept getting 'access denied'. I eventually deleted them by starting Windows 10 in Safe Mode. (Now that's not easy in Win 10!).

    With the files removed I ran the offline installer again, same problem, install failed.

    Next I seached the registry and removed all references to Dropbox. Restarted Windows and ran the online installer.

    Success, I now have a working Dropbox client on my laptop!!
