Hello sgrya1 - welcome to the Dropbox Community!
I'm sorry to hear you're having issues with our desktop app on your computer. Could you give a simple re-install a go and let me know if you still get this error?
Thanks in advance!

Hi Walter,
No luck with that. I got a message saying that 83.4.152 had been successfully installed.
It tried to launch then failed with the same previous error.

I see, thanks for the swift response sgrya1!
As you're still getting the same error, I'd suggest a clean, advanced re-install at this point.
Let me know how it goes!

I was prompted to sign in, the dropbox folder opened, the dropbox system tray app said it was syncing files, then after some time the same error appeared.
