    OK - looks like I've got it going now.

    I tried a couple more things, pretty sure the actual fix though was removing the entries for Drop box in Privacy → Accessibility and the run on log in entry for Dropbox.

    Then make sure there's no dropbox processes running

     

    Then run the installer again, and this time it completed.
